Students will improve their understanding of the geography of Oceania. Each week, they will be able to: - Locate week's country on the world map and know its bordering countries. - Describe some of the physical features of the country. - Describe the symbolism of country flags. - Share basic facts about the country. Example: Languages, food, animals, and more.
My expertise lies in the Social Sciences, so I am excited to teach Social Studies related courses. I hold a BA and an MPhil in Sociology and currently pursuing a graduate degree in Education. I enjoy learning and teaching about countries, and the elements of their cultures. In this class, lessons do not go in depth into specific details about tribes and their practices.

A link is sent into the chat box for them to join in the game. Sometimes, I utilize Youtube videos during class via screen share.
