Cool Continents, Countries and Cultures

Students will learn fascinating and unusual facts  to share with others about the country and cultures being studied.  For example, a giant eyeball structure, the world's largest rodent, and lots of animals and food/daily life.  Through a geography bingo game, they will interact and learn the capitals, the flags and other facts of the countries within the 6 continents (no countries in Antarctica!).

They will learn observation skills and how to share what they see in the videos and slideshows.  They will exercise their memories in the fun countries bingo game by guessing the answers as no one knows them all yet including their teacher!

I love travelling, I have been to most continents and lived in Asia for weeks at a time. My ancestors were from India and migrated to Africa. I was born in Africa where I have been to the safaris.  I have exciting experiences to share such as riding camels in the sand dunes and elephants in Rajastan and Africa. 

If students are interested in a particular country, they can research it and then present their findings to the class.  For example, they could talk/present about where their ancestors came from.  Students have presented on Botswana, Vietnam, Cape Verde and Poland.

An informal certificate, upon request, will be issued for those completing 7 out of 8 classes.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
