Class Experience
Warrior Cats fans are passionate about this series! It activates creativity and imaginative thinking. In this FLEX class we'll be working collaboratively each week to create a Warrior Cats Clan and each student will get to create their own Original Character to play with in role play scenarios during the last 2 weeks. This is a FLEX class however, it is still highly interactive and will be personalized to the students in the class. This class will be using a Nearpod lesson as an interactive technology. The student will receive weekly instructions in the Outschool classroom, including the code for the weekly Nearpod lesson. They will access the Nearpod lesson at their convenience each week by going to the web page: join.nearpod.com and entering the code. The Nearpod lesson is interactive with collaboration boards for us to gather our ideas together and create a "virtual" conversation. There will also be regular polls for voting on different aspects of our clan. Week 1: Introductions and getting to know each other. Sharing our favorite things about Warrior Cats. Week 2: Begin Creating a Warrior Cat Clan - Territories Week 3: Begin Creating your OC (Original Character) and Naming our Clan Week 4: Begin Choosing positions within the clan for our OC's Week 5: Write Your OC's backstory and begin talking about the culture of our clan Week 6: Clan details are finalized and we begin to talk about role play scenario's Week 7 & 8: Role playing different scenarios through the collaboration boards Students are welcomed and encouraged to share their original stories and original artwork in the Outschool classroom as well.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I currently lead 7 ongoing sessions of Warrior Cats Conversations that stay full and I get daily requests for more! I've created this FLEX version to be able to offer something to everyone who loves Warriors, even if they haven't been able to get into the ongoing class. This will give them the fun of creating a Warriors Clan in a collaborative environment. The only thing we won't have is the weekly meetings.
When my own daughter was learning to read, it was the Warrior Cats books that brought out her love of reading. She went from a reluctant reader to a voracious reader. I want to foster this love of reading in others and allow their creativity to take them beyond the books.
I love books and have always been a big reader. In fact, I sometimes joke that I should have been a librarian. In college I worked in a bookstore and assisted in the story time activities for kids.
