includedClass Experience
In this one-off pre-recorded class, learners will use Canva to create a video presentation of a book review. As a Self-Paced class, there are no live videos, but learners will have access to a video of me demonstrating how to create their book review Canva presentation and a step-by-step guide to creating the video. This lesson consists of a 30 minute video of me demo-ing the task. Learners can pause for breaks, or to try things out in Canva, as we go. They will also be shown how they can structure a book review, with ideas about what to include, and what order to include it in. This is a fun way to develop book reviews, by adding the graphic design and video elements to this more traditional task. Learners can upload their video link for me to view. Please note that learners will learn how to create a video with a shareable link. Discuss with your learners that these should only be shared with adult permission. Learners will need their own free Canva account set-up prior to the lesson. Students will be filming themselves so a computer camera will also be required.
Learning Goals
Learners will develop skills and confidence using Canva for presentations. They will develop skills in presenting and structuring book reviews. They will end up creating a shareable video of a book review.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Brighton
I'm Ms. Riot, a creative teacher (certified, qualified and experienced) from London, England. My teaching adventure began at university with the completion of my 4-year degree (Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Primary Education) back in 2007.
In the UK, we achieve our QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) through additional exams and proven experience which I also achieved in 2007. My dissertation allowed me to carry out research into how we can motivate young learners to want to read more. I completed one of my student teaching placements in Arizona, USA and I worked as the Literacy Lead for two summers at a not-for-profit camp in New York, USA.
As an elementary classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, teaching reading lessons across the school. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.
More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity and laughter. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.Reviews
