It's a WORD JUNGLE out there! There are so many interesting words in the English language, where did they come from? How do we pronounce them, spell them, and what do they mean? Let's find out! In this 6 week self paced class, learners will be introduced to 5 vocabulary words within each of the 6 lessons (30 words total during the class). This class is best for learners around the ages of 8-12. Each lesson, Teacher Amanda will provide a printable PDF including the 5 words of the lesson. Learners/grown ups will be able to print that out. In each lesson, Teacher Amanda will include a short pre-recorded video that will introduce the 5 words, review their meanings/word etymology, spell each word, use each word in a sentence, and discuss the creative writing activity assignment. For the creative writing assignment, learners will be given a topic and will be able to think creatively how they can write a paragraph or short story (can be 3-5 sentences - or even longer if your learner chooses) to also include each of the 5 vocabulary words from the lesson. They can think of it as a challenge to include the 5 words from the lesson in their writing! They can make it silly, fun, serious, imaginative, or whatever they choose! Learners are encouraged to share a completed photo of their creative writing activity (if they are comfortable doing so), Teacher Amanda would love to see their wonderful work and discuss their story if they would like! This class could take approximately 6 weeks to complete if one lesson is completed each week. Your learner will be able to interact with Teacher Amanda through the classroom page (if they would like to do so). Teacher Amanda will respond to anything your learner posts within a 24 hour timeframe.
