The Nile: Its Mystery, What's in It, What's on It (Small Class!)

COVER PHOTO: The Nile Delta at night as seen from the International Space Station in October, 2010

That deep blue ribbon, surrounded by lush green along its banks, has supported over 5000 years of one of the most advanced civilizations on earth: the ancient Egyptians. But did you know that the River Nile travels through 11 countries in Africa?  That's right - not just through Egypt.  And, of course, you've probably heard of the Nile's infamous crocodiles who even today kill about 200 people a year.  

Here are the topics we'll cover:

Week 1. The Longest River In the World

Week 2. Who lives IN the Nile?

Week 3. Who lives ON the Nile?


Please see the 💥SYLLABUS💥 for more class details.

How I Teach:

- Classes with only four students.  
- Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation 
   with illustrations, maps and photos of ancient 
   artwork.
- Animated lecture and discussion.
- The showing of genuine antiquities from my 
   collection.
- The playing of a short video related to the 
   subject.

I interact a lot with learners, encouraging kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs.  I love it when kids laugh.  
After the class, I message parents/caretakers to tell them how their student did, and I include extra files for their interest. 

CLASS PRICE includes (in addition to the scheduled class):

1. Welcome message to both the student and 
    enroller.
2. Quiz (actually, a learning tool) as a 
    pre-lesson activity.
3. Personalized post-class message to the 
    student and enroller, detailing how the 
    learner did in class and any 
    recommendations.
4. Availability to answer a student's questions 
    (by message) after class.
