Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner Level
In this class, we will prepare to set sail on a global adventure! This one-time course, designed for ages 7-10, will explore Scotland and expand our cultural horizons in an engaging and interactive way. Be prepared for a learning experience that is anything but passive! We will engage in lively discussions, interactive presentations, and a fun end-of-class quiz to assess retention. Each lesson follows a similar format, starting with a presentation on the country's geography and weather, followed by a short PowerPoint game to test our knowledge of the appropriate attire for each country, followed by unique clothing, foods, and traditions. Concluding with a discussion allowing learners to ask simple or complex questions about the country we have just learned about!

Learning Goals

Students will improve their understanding of Scotland's geography, climate, traditional clothing, cuisine, and customs.

In this one-time class, we will discuss the culture and customs of Scotland. I had the amazing opportunity to live in Scotland for a year while pursuing my master's degree in English literature, and during that time, I had the chance to explore the length and breadth of the country. Additionally, I have ancestral roots in Scotland, which further fueled my interest and passion for the subject.
