Are you interested in ancient civilizations? Do you want to learn about ancient civilizations and archaeology? Do you like being creative while you learn? This is the class for you! Although the topic changes every week, each class is a standalone lesson, and the format of the class remains the same. In the first 40-45 minutes, the learners will be introduced to the ancient civilization of the week. We will talk about its geographic location, the time period in question, important archaeological sites and their treasures, the rise and fall of the culture, and so much more! I create my classes so students get a good overall understanding of the civilization and a mix of interesting, surprising, and even silly fun facts! I also include the latest archaeological information and theories when possible. I teach in an open lecture style, where I go through engaging slides, stories, ancient texts, and information. Students are asked open-ended questions throughout the lesson and are encouraged to ask questions of me at any time. The informal tone of the class invites the learners to participate as they feel comfortable. For the last 10 to 15 minutes, the learners will be able to create their own drawings, or they can draw along during class if they prefer. I will suggest a few artefacts or buildings for them to draw, but they can also choose anything that they like from the presentation. They can even draw a comic strip that reflects the civilization that we examined. I encourage all my learners to ask questions, whether verbally or through chat. If there are no questions, this is a time when we can talk about anything archaeological, and I am always happy to tell them stories and fun facts about being an archaeologist! In the last few minutes, students will share their masterpieces with the class and will reflect on what they have learned. This ongoing course is a great option for students who want to drop in and out according to their interests or school curriculum. Each class is completely standalone! The list of topics includes suggestions from learners and parents, and also some of my favourites. Class topics are scheduled at least one month in advance.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Queen's University, Ontario, Canada
I am a trained archaeologist, and I excavated at sites such as Mytilene and Kommos in Greece for many field seasons. I have travelled extensively through Europe, and I have taught Greek and Roman art, archaeology and mythology at Concordia University, Montréal. I held a position at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, where I created and led tours for children on the topics of Greek, Roman and Egyptian archaeology, the Medieval period, dinosaurs and natural history. More recently, I have taught labs on water science and solar energy to Kindergarten and Grade 1 students through Scientists in School. Since July 2021, I have had the pleasure of teaching many archaeology and ancient civilizations classes on Outschool.
