Travel With Me: Japan

Students will learn general knowledge about Japan's location and size. Then move through some major cities as we "Travel" together on a virtual field trip through Japan. The topics that will be covered are general info and culture of Japan and highlight some landmarks of major cities, as well as, more info on those cities. Course is catered to students without in-depth knowledge of Japan, if your child does have that knowledge and is looking to expand on that, this class touches on some basics. If they still want to take the course I am happy to have them and ensure a fun time with discussion, but slides may lack the deep info they crave, but the photos should help with the travel itch and entice further knowledge. 

This is a slide based class, with student interaction throughout, video clips, and a full discussion at the end with a Q&A. I will ask students to try and discuss and draw about topics, this is not mandatory and is just for fun, as discussion and drawing are great ways to learn and remember. Also as students are encouraged to join in the interactions, if your child is shy, no worries they will only ever be gently encouraged to speak and never pushed. In no way do they have to speak, if you are ever worried about this or any other special needs problem you can always contact me before the class. Nobody will ever be turned away from my class, learning is for everyone, and everyone is constantly learning. 

*New Outschool Policy* - to keep your children safe as a teacher I must see/do one of the following: 1. The learner’s video is enabled throughout the class
2. The learner connects with me via video at the beginning of class, to allow me to verify the learner’s identity (the learner can then disable video after her check in)
3.  A “verified” badge appears next to the learner’s name in my class roster.  If a learner has a verified badge, they are cleared to have their video off during class and have been verified by a member of our team-- check with Outschool team if this option is needed.
