Description
Class Experience
In this class, students will compete against themselves and others to see how many points they can score by answering social studies questions about our seven continents. Questions will include topical geography, political boundaries (countries and cities) and basic information about size, populations, flora, and fauna and economy. The class structured resembles the game show Jeopardy, but students need not answer in the form of a question. I will facilitate the game. I will begin by...
This class is taught in English.
1. To gain new or additional knowledge about the continents of the world. 2. Practice and learn good sportsmanship skills. 3. Enjoy a fun game of knowledge. 4. Encourage self-study skills and personal evaluation.
I am a retired teacher. Over my career of nearly 50 years, I have taught children from preschool to adult. My expertise is in developing developmentally appropriate curriculum for both children and adults. I have taught preschool, elementary school through 9th grade, and adults as an adjunct faculty member in a teacher education program. One of my greatest joys, in addition to my grandkids, cats, and gardens, is still teaching children. I will forever gain from and grow from their "aha" moments, which make life so beautiful!
There is no homework per se. However, optional internet resources will be provided for students to do their own reading and research prior to our class and group game.
Paper and pencil are helpful if a student would like to record their own score and make notes about the topic. Optional
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Assessment is made through how well the student participates and answers questions correctly. This will be reflected on the student's certificate of championship or honorable mention.
25 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Since students are playing a game with a competitive element, please help your younger children understand about taking turns and not shouting out answers. This game will be played sequentially, with each child getting multiple turns. When a child has a turn, regardless of right or wrong answer, the next question goes to the next child. It can be very disheartening to younger children to get shut out of a game when one person is allowed to keep going each time they get a right answer. I want all students to feel included, valued and capable. If you have a student with special needs, please reach out to me in advance so that together we can determine any accommodations that may be made to help your child feel comfortable and successful in class. Additionally, I have listed, available in the welcoming message, optional resources your child can access online and use to help get ready for class. Feel free to use other resources if you have them. These are not required in order for children to participate in the game. However, review is always a good thing! The videos and articles listed are free and available, even though some websites offer subscriptions for greater access and value. I am not affiliated with any of the websites. Youtube Approved (OPTIONAL) National Geographic for Kids (OPTIONAL) Parental consent is required for this resource Britannica (OPTIONAL) Parental consent is required for this resource Mocomi (OPTIONAL) Parental consent is required for this resource
The following things will be provided prior to class, in the welcome letter or classroom. A current map of the World, clearly showing the continents. A list of age-appropriate internet articles a student can look up and read, alone, or with the help of an adult. A list of YouTube videos appropriate to age and topic.
