In this ongoing class we will discover the World one country at a time. Every week we will travel to a new country, we will learn about its geography, customs and more. The best part? You (the learner) get to choose which countries you would like to learn about. :) Class Structure Each class content will vary depending on the country, however there will be a common structure to each class: - Brief introduction - What do you know or have heard about the respective country? - Presentation of new information (including location, capital, flag, weather or other geographical features, customs, typical local food, wild life, maybe learn a word or two in the local language) - Pictures and/or videos from teacher's travel experience to the respective country - Kahoot Game (to check the retention of the new information in a fun, engaging way) The learner gets to choose the country that they would like to learn about. Note: I ask for a minimum of 1 week notice before the class when you request a country, so that I can have enough time to prepare a great presentation. If the learner/parent does not request a country which they would like to cover, I will randomly pick one for the particular week. This will be an interactive lecture in which the learner will actively participate by asking/answering questions and expressing their opinion. We will use a Nearpod presentation for visuals (pictures and/or a short video). Additionally, if the learner likes playing Kahoot, we will play a fun Kahoot game to test the new information retention. There are additional activates that learners can complete after the class, including creating their own travel passport or scratch off each country as we visit it using a scratch-off map. See you soon, travelers!
