Projects

US Grade 3 - 6
𝗜𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸-𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀, 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴!

On day one, we'll chat about how the various tribes in the 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 series are inspired by real life animals, and how each dragon tribe is ideally suited to their habitat. Students will then be asked to spend some time after class inventing their own new dragon tribe to share with the class the following day!

On day two, students will spend class time sharing the dragons they created the night before. Everyone will be encouraged to give and receive supportive feedback. After class, students will receive a video from me discussing how to create a history, homeland, and a culture for their dragon tribes, which they'll present in class on day three. Who are their tribes allied with, and why? Where do they live in Pyrrhia? Do they have any special traditions or holidays?

On day three, students will share their tribe histories during class and, once again, be encouraged to give and receive feedback. They will then receive a video from me discussing the basics of creating an interesting character with a fascinating backstory, and the importance of characters having families, pasts, and dreams. Students will be asked to invent a dragon character in their new tribe to present on day four.

On day four, students will present the dragon character they created. We'll chat about each character's strengths and flaws as a group. Homework will be to create an outline of a story about their dragon character, or to write a short scene with their dragon character-- examples of both options will be posted in the classroom.

On day five, students will read their story aloud and get feedback from both their teacher and their classmates!

This class is perfect for fans of the book who want to talk and create all things 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦. Having read the entire series is not necessary, and that we do our very best to keep spoilers at bay!

𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 is written by Tui T. Sutherland, illustrated by Joy Ang, and published by Scholastic.

Learning Goals

Each student will create their own tribe, history, character, and story.

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. If your learner doesn't want to offer a pronoun, that's okay! There's no pressure, and we'll just move right along and try to avoid pronouns entirely with the learner.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
