Minecraft の動物学: 驚異のアホロートル! (対象年齢 7 ～ 12 歳)

>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING:
1. The live portion of this class is an 75 minute-long, fast-paced, lecture-and-multimedia-slide presentation, with Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them. [note: I have recently added an extra 15 minutes to the end of this class specifically to cover extra Q&A time. The core of the class is still only an hour long, and students who cannot stay for the extended period can post their questions to the discussion board anytime instead.]
2. We will NOT actually be playing Minecraft together live in class. However, individual students may choose to be on their games while attending class. Students are also encouraged to share in-game experiences during Q&A time, as well as on the classroom board before and after the live session!<<<

In this installment of Minecraft Zoology, we will be checking out the NEW axolotl mob! After meeting the cute cubey versions of these critters and reviewing their in-game stats and features, we will learn about the real axolotl, a unique amphibian which although popular in the pet trade is critically endangered in its wild form.

This single session will consist primarily of slides and multimedia content (including YouTube video clips) accompanied by lecture, but there will be opportunities to ask questions as time permits, and the classroom board can also be utilized before and after class to engage in discussion about the topic. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your understanding and study of both the species and concepts introduced in class!

Also, just FYI: I like using my Cool Science Words and exposing children of all ages to proper scientific terminology and nomenclature. I believe it's never too early for children to hear us using our "grownup" vocabulary. (That being said, of course I define these words when they first come up, and will provide supplementary vocabulary sheets in classes with a lot of subject-specific terminology.)
