Semanal de ciencia sobre animales salvajes (de 8 a 10 años)

Hello and welcome to Wild Animal Science Weekly! 

CLASS OBJECTIVE: Each week in this class, kids can learn interesting facts about a wild animal and their specific habitat and conservation status.

During Class:
I will be using the onscreen lesson plan that I created using scientific photos and informational text. I also use fun, educational props as a creative way to encourage student engagement and imagination. Educational content of each lesson has been expanded by integrating elements of math, geography, vocabulary and writing. 

CLASS PARTICIPATION: This class can have up to 5 learners, so weekly lessons will be teacher presentation-based, with instructor guided questions to facilitate the group or individual participation. As I present the content of the lesson, I will ask students guided questions and call on raised hands for answers, the same as a classroom setting works. Doing this allows me to pace the class time in order to meet lesson objectives while still giving everyone a fair chance to participate within the allotted class time. 

Muting: 
Learners will be muted during the lesson to control echo, audio static, and distractions for the whole group. For large groups, most questions will be held until the end of class or can be put in the chat. Students will need to know how to locate and use the Mute control on their device in order to un-mute for answering during or asking questions or sharing at the end.

Questions: 
Students can take simple notes or use the chat feature for general questions or comments that are not questions. Throughout the lesson, I will be using teacher directed questions to give students chances for participation by raising hands. This is so we can stay on-topic and get the most out of the lesson content.
