This class begins with a discussion to determine prior knowledge of the group of learners. The class will consider what makes something a fruit or a vegetable, what is the debate, why is there a debate, and what are some opinions about this topic. The class will compare and contrast different scientific explanations and why some agree and disagree. The class will end with a Kahoot about fruits and vegetables to see how well learners are able to classify fruits or vegetables based on what they have learned.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Outschool Families!
I go by Ms. T or Ms. Crystal in class.
I am a lifelong learner, always open to learning new things and sharing my love of learning with students. As a lifelong learner I am passionate about many subjects and have broad interests.
Current Class Offerings:
- The History of different foods
- Spanish-English Dual-Language Classes
- Book clubs, writing clubs and writing classes.
- 1-on-1 Tutoring
I graduated from Western Washington University (WWU) with a Dual-Major BA in "Spanish: Language and Literature" and "English: Creative Writing and Literature". Two years later, I went back to WWU to earn my Teaching Certificate. During those two years, I was working in a local school district as a substitute educational assistant. I have a valid Washington State Teaching license. I have been a substitute teacher in a number of local school districts.
I have been a tutor in various subjects and all levels; elementary, middle, and high school. I began tutoring in college and have 10+ years of experience.
My teaching philosophy is that learning can and should be fun. I believe in using a variety of techniques to reach as diverse a group as possible. I take into account learning styles and preferences when planning and teaching. I am flexible and can alter a lesson on the spot as needed. I believe students learn best when they are given the opportunity to learn things they find interesting and relevant to their lives.
A little more about me:
- I have many hobbies including; reading, writing, needlepoint, and learning.
- I participate in NaNoWriMo every year, National Novel Writing Month. This takes place in November. I am currently working on revision and editing of my last NaNoWriMo Novel.
- I visited Costa Rica and fell in love with Coffee Culture. They take their coffee very seriously.
- I love: chocolate, cats, dogs, books, tea, and coffee.
- I dream about traveling the world, seeing different places and meeting different people.
- I love visiting new places. I love learning about new peoples and their cultures.
- My reading list grows longer every year because there are always more books published that I want to read than I can actually read.
- One thing students like about me is when I share my love of random and sometimes delightfully odd facts.Reviews
