Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
In this 8-week self-paced class, the learners will have the opportunity to learn interesting facts about different geographical locations worldwide. Each week, the learners will be given clues in a video to help them identify a different place from somewhere around the world. They will be practicing research skills and deductive reasoning in order to find the location. They will then add more interesting facts about the place on the Outschool Classroom page. Students should send a message to me with their location guesses through the Outschool page.
The topics to be covered will be information about different places worldwide. Some of the locations will be determined by the students as they will be encouraged to give clues to other locations. *Students should follow all internet safety rules by not identifying the place where they live. They can use their location for clues, but they can not identify these locations as being where they live.
Challenges will be posted weekly. 
In each lesson, the students will be required to identify the place as well as add some facts that they have found interesting about the location given in the clues once they have correctly identified the location. They will be expected to respond to the clues given and encouraged to offer their own challenges to the class as well. 
I will teach using a discovery-based approach in which students are given clues via a video that I will create and post, and they will need to identify the location and add more information about the location to the class page.
My teaching style is very relaxed. 
I will use video clips and pictures to give clues.
