Join me, a self-proclaimed Wicked expert, to discuss all things Wicked. We will study the characters, the songs and the foreshadowing in the film. This immersive course will give true Wicked fans a chance to showcase their wicked knowledge. 💚Each week we will look at a different asepct of the film wicked and the children will produce written work in each session. It is essential that children have seen the film before the class. 🏅 This class is perfect for 9-14 year olds, but this is not a strict age limit and other age students are welcome depending on ability. 🤝 Beginners will be guided step-by-step, and advanced students challenged with targeted questions and vocabulary. *********************************Typical Class Routine********************************************** 🎲 Getting to know activity 📖 Introduction to the topic- reading a shared text or a modelled example 🎓 Guided instruction -this is where I explain and show how to complete the activity ✍️Independent work 🗣️ Sharing work and feedback within the class. 🕒There is always an opportunity for students to finish their work after class and submit for feedback as I wouldn’t want a student to feel rushed or pressured into sharing. 📖 Homework- This is set after each lesson and is optional but there is lots of encouragement to complete the work. *********************************Other Information************************************************* 📝 Additional content is introduced weekly, and worksheets are provided in advance. 💡 Flexible participation options are available with optional home-learning activities. 📝High-quality teaching ensures a conducive environment for swift progress. ******************************Teaching Credentials and Qualifications**************************** 🎓MA Childhood Studies, Warwick University, 2007-2008 🎓PGCE Primary Education, Warwick University, 2006-2007 (certified teaching qualification in the UK) 🎓BA Sociology, University of Leeds, 2003-2006 🌟Worked in British primary schools for over 15 years 🌟10 years as the head of English ****************************************Teaching Style******************************************* My commitment as both a teacher and a leader has always centred around helping children attain academic excellence through dynamic and innovative lessons.
