1-2 horas por semana. A list of possible assignments will be given. Students will be given the option to pursue whichever assignments they like. Completing assignments will give them achievements and xp (experience points) that will help them to level up in their quest to be a Big Cat Keeper!Evaluación
Students will be assessed using XP or experience points. As their XP grows, they will level up at the “safari”. Individual assignments will be corrected, but the emphasis will be placed on effort and information rather than perfection.Experiencia de clase

They may be small but they are DEADLY! Each class we will hear the call of the wild and travel to a new location to learn about a tiny cat. Together we will study their habitat, diet and what makes them special. In the process, students will gain experience points and battle it out in a test of wits to become the ultimate Tiny Cat Keeper! This class will be designed in a very interactive video game style. Students will be assessed on XP or experience points. As their XP grows, they will level up at the “safari”. Students will gain XP through class participation, assignments, answering questions, helping others and pop quiz style “battles” where they will go head to head to test their knowledge. Lesson 1: Introduction to Tiny Wild Cats Lesson 2: Pallas’s Cat (Mountain slopes of Central Asia) Lesson 3: Margay (Central and South America) Lesson 4: Asian Leopard Cat (South, Southeast and East Asia) Lesson 5: Sunda Leopard Cat (Java, Bali, Borneo, Sumatra & The Philippines) Lesson 6: Sand Cat (North Africa, Middle East & Central Asia) Lesson 7: Oncilla (Central America-Brazil) Vulnerable Lesson 8: Guina/Kodkod (Central & Southern Chile) Lesson 9: Flat Headed Cat (Borneo) Lesson 10: Black Footed Cat (Southern Africa) Lesson 11: Rusty Spotted Cat (India & Sri Lanka) Lesson 12: Summary & Conservation Efforts I think that excitement about learning is contagious, and that students can learn as much from each other as they can the teacher. Students will be given opportunities to form "adventure parties" to solve problems and gain achievements. What work they do individually outside of class will be also be shared and new information presented in the beginning of every class. With the gaming model, self-directed learning outside of class is optional, but fun. Moreover it taps into children's competitive nature which propels them to learn far beyond mandated tasks.
