In this one-time Chess Foundations class, students will learn the Foundations of Chess. These foundations include The goal of Chess (how to win), board orientation, board setup, and how to move the pieces. Part of my teaching style is to engage students as much as possible. If students are engaged, they are learning. I will engage students with stop and check questions for understanding throughout the lesson about key concepts we discuss. Students will also be able to ask me questions...
