Course Description

● In this course, we will look at the National Geographic Reading Explorers series. There are 5 levels in all. Each level is a bit more difficult than the last but the structure is virtually the same.

● Here, we will look at topics ranging from adventure traveling, aliens, hottest chilis, spaceships, building the great domes of the world, history of pizza etc. This course is very discussion based and varies if the students are younger or older. With younger groups they will focus more on learning new words and comprehending the content while getting into basic discussions. Older groups will work more on ethical, hypothetical and philosophical discussions while still learning new words and concepts along the way. Plus, older groups work on real world applications of the content.
