By popular demand, this ornithology class takes my ‘Extraordinary Birds’ classes to the next level. Each week, we will be discussing in detail a certain theme involving ornithology. This could be a discussion/lesson on a certain group of birds, diving deeper into bird anatomy or physiology, IDing different species, looking at some careers involving birds or seeing what’s in the news regarding the world of birds. In addition to my own themes and ideas, students will also have input in the weekly topics as well.

Having worked with many birds including owls, ravens, hawks, and kookaburras, I will also be using personal experiences within the content when I can! 

Each class will consist of opportunities for students to share and discuss what they know about the topic, but also time for more direct learning. Powerpoints may be included at times as well as YouTube videos, supplementary websites and pictures, however each class will vary and some may be more general chatter than others.

Upcoming topics:
