Description
Class Experience
The students will have access to a world map they can download and print out. During class we will locate Sweden on the map and then discuss its location in concerns with Continent, Hemisphere, coastal or land locked. We will also discuss climate, culture and food. We will use this information to do a brief comparison to the country the students live in. The students can make a mark on their map after "visiting" Sweden. This can be a one time class if there is a specific country of interest...
This class is taught in English.
The students will learn the different continents, how seasons are affected by the different hemispheres as well as gain insight into different cultures to foster a better understanding of the world.
I have travelled extensively throughout the world and have visited Sweden numerous times. I worked on a cruise ship and had the opportunity to explore a number of different port cities and explore the culture and landscape of Sweden. I also had an ancestor from Sweden and have researched his life and family before he moved to South Africa. My classes are based on my experiences and to give students a taste of all the different countries I have had the opportunity to explore (around 72 at my last count).
25 minutes per week in class, and no time outside of class.
