地理を学ぼう: ゼルダの伝説 ブレス オブ ザ ワイルド 地理の授業

In this ongoing class, learners will explore a range of geography subjects in a fun and interactive way. This class aims to use the learner's passion for video games to teach them real-life geography skills. Students are not required to own a Nintendo Switch. 

They should not bring a Nintendo Switch to class. 

In this class, learners will team up with Link to explore Hyrule and learn real-life geography skills. We cover map-reading, ordinal directions, landforms, erosion, bodies of water, different terrains, sustainability, resources, making connections and much more. All while engaging learners in education through play.

Each class will include a range of teaching methods and activities that are designed to engage the learners in both a hands-on and minds-on way. Classes will include live game play, as well as Q&A, experiments, quizzes, games, worksheets, videos, and much more. Learners will be encouraged to explore, question and share what they learn. A variety of methods are used to support learners and cater for different learning styles and needs.
