⪼  March 12 - 14: Race to Save World’s Dying Languages
⪼  March 19 - 21: [Topic Coming Soon!]
⪼  March 26 - 28: [Topic Coming Soon!]

Each week in class, children will be introduced to the topic of our non-fiction article written in newspaper style. In class, we will:
⪼  discuss the key information
⪼  have class discussions about the news topic
⪼  review vocabulary
⪼  read the article together aloud
⪼  answer questions to develop understanding

2 days before class, children will receive a PDF document of our reading text. This document does not need to be printed because I will share the screen in class, however it can be printed if that is your preference. After class, children will receive an optional homework worksheet (with answers included) which can be used to review the article.

Our news reading and discussions will vary each week. Topics of news articles may include: sports, science, technology, culture, world news, environment, and more!

Intermediate and Advanced ESL students (B2+) are welcome in this class! Your child should be prepared to read aloud and speak during our conversation/discussion of the news article. It is recommended that ESL students read and study the article before class.

★ ★ Why is "Frontloading" an excellent teaching strategy? ★ ★
In this class, I utilise a teaching strategy known as “frontloading” before we read the article together. This instructional strategy provides students with the necessary background knowledge, vocabulary, and context before starting a new lesson or topic. The goal of frontloading is to help students better understand new information by giving them a framework to build upon. Frontloading in my classes consists of providing materials in advance, conducting brainstorming through photographs and diagrams to activate prior knowledge, reviewing relevant concepts, and connecting vocabulary to relevant images. By frontloading, my students become more engaged in the learning process and improve their ability to retain new information. This instructional technique can also help students feel more confident and prepared for the lesson ahead, leading to more successful learning outcomes.

⭐️ 4 years on Outschool! ⭐️
⭐️ 1,350 students taught on Outschool! ⭐️ 

Hello! My name is Megan and I am originally from San Francisco, California. I now live in Scotland, UK! I have a Masters Degree in Education with Honours (MSc) from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. I began my teaching career in 2006 and I have taught both in California, USA and in Scotland, UK. I was also a Summer Camp Counsellor for 3 years during my Undergraduate studies at University and I love being outdoors exploring nature! 

As an elementary/primary school teacher for Grades K-6/Primary 1-7, my specialties include phonics and grammar, reading comprehension, math, and interdisciplinary topic exploration (the FUN learning!) I have also taught as an online ESL teacher (TEFL and TESOL Certified) and I ensure my classes are friendly, supportive, and engaging.

My home base is in Scotland, but I also travel to amazing places all over Europe and the Americas in my campervan as my "travelling classroom"! In my classes, we will laugh and learn together. I hope to see you soon!


Megan's Class Policies:
⪼  I live in the UK and so I use British English for my lessons and reading materials. The majority of my resources are written in British English. There is very little difference between American and British English. For example, in American: color, in British English: colour / in American: organize, in British English: organise.
⪼  I enter the classroom 4-6 minutes before class start time. This is to allow me to set up for the class. I admit learners from the waiting room at the start time of the class. If you arrive early, please wait in the waiting room until class start time.
⪼  I live in the London Time Zone and it may be that you live in a different time zone. This may mean that I cannot reply immediately to emails or messages. I will do my absolute best to reply to messages as quickly as possible within the daytime hours of the London Time Zone.
⪼  For the purposes of consistency and fairness, all standard Outschool refund policies will be followed.
