Description

23 children around 11 years old, (12 boys and 11 girls) with a narrow attention span, whose inner selves knowledge is somewhat limited due to their age, Eleven students are kinesthetic, nine are visual-spatial, and three are auditory learners. These students have been learning throughout the year on-line, they are well equiped and are familliar with the platforms we will be using (Zoom/Nearpod) In case we may encounter some internet connection problems (As we sometimes had in the past) the whole lesson and materials will be uploaded into the Ss Google Classroom, so they can still have access to mostly everything.
