Class Experience

🐉 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱! 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿. 🐉

Each week, we'll start with an inspiration animal-- like  sharks, leopards, or even pangolins! Using that animal as our inspiration, we'll decide what our dragon tribe eats, which will help us break down how it hunts, where it sleeps, and of course, what it looks like. We'll then decide if our dragon tribe has any special skills or abilities, and if we've got time, think on the tribe's history and culture.

The teacher writes down the details on the whiteboard and and guides the discussion as learners combine storytelling skills with knowledge of the natural world, creating a dragon that feels both realistic and fantastical-- just like the tribes in the Wings of Fire series!

This is a fun, social class that encourages teamwork and discussion while also increasing our knowledge of storytelling, biology, and writing. There is not officially an art component of this class, but students are encouraged and welcome to draw along as we create the tribe! They're also invited to share their work at the end.

Learning Goals

Students will work together to create a new Wings of Fire style dragon tribe.
Students will consider storytelling and world-building strategies as they create a history and culture for their tribe.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class! -For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them. -Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!). -Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book. -The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
