In this ongoing class, students will explore countries around the world. Each week will take us to a new place where we learn about the country's geographic location and capital city, the meaning(s) of the colors and symbols that make up its flag, food, animals, and resources. Students are encouraged to ask questions throughout the lesson. A one-page worksheet will be posted to the class weekly.

My expertise lies in the Social Sciences, so I am excited to teach Social Studies related courses. I hold a BA and an MPhil in Sociology. I enjoy learning and teaching about countries, their symbols and other elements of their cultures. In this class, lessons do not go in depth into specific details about tribes and their practices.
