Introduction
Developing healthy eating habits is one of the most important tasks for the young kids, 
who have access to a wide range of unhealthy products. Therefore, it is important to 
inform children about what they should eat and what food they should avoid. These 
activities are suitable for beginner students, who want to know more about eating 
and food, and for those who are interested in having a healthy lifestyle.

Their age varies from 10 to 12.
The level of English of most of them is beginner. 

Timetable fit/Topic (why are you giving this content at this 
point of the course):
The topic of the lesson is Hogwarts Quest on Halloween.

is the best time for pupils to get to know more about Halloween celebrations. 
Hogwarts world of magic, especially during Halloween, gives learners a 
unique opportunity to experience the spirit of the magic world,learn the 
vocabulary on the topic, and inspires 
to learn English. Learning about British customs and traditions is a part 
of school curriculum, and presenting the topic in more creative way 
increases the chance that children memorise 
it better. Furthermore, the students in class 5 are only getting familiar 
with secondary school, the new rooms, and this lesson can make them 
feel more comfortable and relaxed in strange
surroundings.

Canada World Youth Exchange Video

CWY video presentation of our team.

Peace Corps Write On Competition

In 2016, I participated in Write On competition organised by the Peace Corps. It was an international creative writing competition, where students, pupils, and teachers of different countries competed in creative writing. It was an amazing experience for me as a teacher. In my town, the Write On was conducted by Peace Corps volunteer Jake McGrew. Consequently, I managed to win the town, oblast, and national competitions. My piece of writing was also published along with other creative stories in a special handbook.




Canada World Youth Experience

As a student I loved travelling, so I took risks and challenged myself as much as I could. I decided to take part in CWY exchange because I wanted to see the world, get rid of stereotypes, and experience something new. I spent 6 months living in a host family with a Canadian participant, working for the benefits of Canadian community.




Canada World Youth Certificates

As a student, I used to take part in cultural exchange programs, which helped me a great deal and gave me some valuable experience. In 2009, I  participated in Canada World Youth Exchange program which aimed at providing young people with cross-cultural experience. The program was ECO-oriented. Here are some of the certificates I recieved after the program completing.
