In this weekly, ongoing social club, learners will have the opportunity to discuss all things Pokémon. They will be encouraged to share their expertise on the subject and will have the chance to learn even more from their classmates. Each learner may also bring 2 Pokémon cards or figures to share during each class. 

There will be two main types of interactions during each week's meeting. First, learners will be able to talk to each other an discuss different aspects of the Pokémon world. Second, learners will have the opportunity to "teach the teacher" who knows enough about the subject to have a conversation and ask intelligent questions but fully admits that she still has a lot to learn. Being able to explain a topic to someone else and share your knowledge in a respectful and constructive way is a valuable social skill. It builds communication skills and helps learners gain confidence in themselves.

Each meeting will progress as learners direct. As this is primarily a social club, discussions will progress as naturally as possible. The teacher will facilitate by asking questions and engaging with each learner so that everyone has ample time to talk. In addition, there will be weekly topic ideas in case the discussion needs a starting point.
