How Is the Class Structured?
Each class will follow a structured format to ensure a dynamic and engaging learning experience:
🔹 Introduction & Warm-Up (5-10 min): Review of key concepts and discussion of real-world shark encounters.
🔹 Main Lesson (20-30 min): A deep dive into the week’s topic using a combination of lecture, visuals, and interactive elements.
🔹 Engagement Activities (5-10 min): Activities may include video clips, games, group discussions, or real shark research case studies.
🔹 Q&A and Reflection (5 min): Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts.

How Will I Teach?
Interactive & Multimedia-Based Approach – This class will incorporate engaging slides, high-quality videos of sharks in the wild, real-world research case studies, and interactive discussions.
Experiential Learning – Students will analyze actual shark tracking data, explore behavioral patterns, and even learn how scientists interpret body language signals in sharks.
Storytelling & Real Encounters – Insights from my own experiences and other scientists like Ocean Ramsey’s experiences, along with personal fieldwork stories, will bring shark behavior to life in an exciting way.
Critical Thinking & Discussion-Based Learning – Students will be encouraged to ask questions, analyze scenarios, and participate in meaningful discussions.

What’s My Teaching Style?
🔹 Passionate & Engaging – My goal is to inspire curiosity and a deep appreciation for sharks through energetic, enthusiastic teaching.
🔹 Science-Based & Analytical – While we’ll break down complex concepts, I emphasize real scientific research and evidence in all discussions.
🔹 Student-Centered & Interactive – This is not a passive lecture! Students will engage in discussions, activities, and hands-on learning experiences throughout the course.
🔹 Encouraging & Supportive – No prior knowledge is needed! Whether a student is new to marine science or a budding marine biologist, I create a welcoming environment where all learners can thrive.

How Much Will Learners Interact?
Live Discussions & Q&A – Students will have direct opportunities to ask questions and engage in group discussions.
Interactive Games & Polls – To reinforce concepts, fun activities like shark behavior quizzes and “Guess That Shark” games will be included.
Video Analysis – Students will watch exclusive underwater footage of shark behaviors and analyze body language cues.
Case Studies & Problem-Solving – Learners will investigate real shark research, tracking data, and conservation challenges.
Optional Homework & Projects – For students who want to dive deeper, optional activities like research challenges and creative projects will be available.
