US Grade 3 - 6
Over the course of 7 weeks, students will virtually travel to explore the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Each class will begin with a brief lesson and a virtual tour of the featured wonder. Students will learn about its history, significance, and unique features while answering questions like: What makes this site one of the Seven Wonders? How long has it held this distinction? Where is/was it located? And other intriguing questions students may have! After each virtual exploration, students will engage in a creative writing activity inspired by the wonder of the week. While some students may complete a draft in the 15-20 minute writing session, others may prefer additional time outside of class to finalize their work. Once complete, students can share their writing with the class or submit it for individual feedback. This class is perfect for students who love adventure and want to practice writing in a fun, creative way. It’s designed to inspire creativity while honing writing skills.
