Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
Each class we will "travel to" one U.S. state and learn several interesting and fun facts about it. Information will include the geography, the capital, unique landmarks, major cities, popular tourist attractions, famous foods, and more. Because travel is a visual experience, our virtual traveling will include many pictures and virtual reality tours of the state as well. 

Since this is an ongoing class and each meeting will be about a new state, learners can begin the class during any week. Prior to class, learners will receive information with the state we'll be traveling to and are encouraged to discover their own fun fact about the state to share with the class. Though I will have plenty of information to share with the students, I encourage students to share with the class and interact with each other as well. This is an interactive class in which learners will be encouraged to ask questions and share. And as such, it is highly encouraged that cameras are on throughout class. 

At the end of each class, learners will receive a state stamp for their virtual map!

CLASS RECORDING POLICY: When you enroll in this class, you are paying for the live class, just like if this were an in-person class. I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners—many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child, and to maintain the experience of the class—this class has been designed for a live experience that includes video and interactive slides. Watching a recording while simultaneously attempting to independently navigate the slides and activities will not result in the same experience.

Learning Goals

Learners gain a basic understanding of a new state. They will be able to locate it on a map and share information about the capital, landmarks, etc. They will also increase their curiosity about and their openness to new places.
