極寒の天候からの脱出

Learn about extreme weather!

This fun class is run over four weeks, learners will have fun and learn about different types of extreme weather patterns

Each week will consist of a video lesson which the children can watch to learn about the particular weather we will be working on, they will then use the knowledge they have gained to play an online escape room which I created for them. They will use the OutSchool classroom to discuss the clues and support each other in solving the game. The children will need to work through the game and prove they have learnt the information with this fun lesson. These types of games encourage critical thinking skills.

While this class does not meet live, the children will still be expected to participate by playing the online game with the other students and commenting on discussions in the classroom. 

The games are created by myself, learners will be given a secure url that temporarily hosts the game so it is only available to members of our class. No additional log ins will be required, once the class ends the url will expire.
