Literature-Based World Geography 3rd-6th
Class | FULL
This class is designed to be a notebook approach to world cultures and geography for the primary student. Using children’s books, we will study nature, folktales, fables, art, poetry, history, and gentle Socratic questions to prompt discussion and discovery. Geographic elements include country maps and flags for students to cut out, paint, or color. Beautiful drawings of indigenous animals familiarize students with some remarkable creatures, cultivating respect and wonder for the natural world. As the student compiles these elements in a journal, they create a memorable keepsake recording all they have learned.
Semester 1 covers China, Japan, Thailand, & India.
Semester 2 covers Antarctica, Australia, Morocco, Egypt, Tanzania, Kenya, and Ghana.
Each unit will conclude with a unique & fun culinary tasting of the country studied.
