Live Writing Lessons with Night Zookeeper

Live Writing Lessons with Night Zookeeper thumbnail

We’ve launched an exciting new initiative, which enables teachers to book live writing lessons with the Night Zookeeper via video chat. An experienced Night Zookeeper educator is ready and waiting to connect with your class via Google Hangouts, Skype, or any other live video software that you use in school.

How does it work

Once you’ve booked an appropriate date and time, you will then be connected to the member of the Night Zookeeper team that will deliver your session. You can communicate with them via email to select a topic or skill that you would like your students to focus on during the session. Then on the day, you just need to make sure your video chat software is up and running.

What’s included?

Each session you book will be planned and delivered by an experienced educator at Night Zookeeper. Lessons can be customised to a topic or skill that you’d like your students to focus on. The session will also be followed up with an interactive writing lesson that your students can complete based on what they have learnt during the 30-minute session.

What do my students need to prepare?

All you need for the session is a piece of paper and a pencil to complete the activities set by the Night Zookeeper educator. It is also advisable that you set up nightzookeeper.com accounts for your students so they can complete the follow-up work.

What is the cost?

The sessions cost $20 (£15) per class for the 30-minutes. This fee is to cover the cost of time that the Night Zoo team member puts into preparing and delivering a high-quality session for you.
