********

This class is especially popular with homeschoolers, but I also offer after school and weekend times. 

This class is an excellent introduction to every continent and ocean in the world. We will fully explore planet Earth and its places and people! More than 70 countries are featured, but if your children have any questions at all about any of the 195 countries, just ask!

I am a very detailed teacher and I present a lot of information. I will show many maps and photos on the slides. I frequently stop to ask for questions or to ask the learners about their experiences living in or visiting that region. I will give a study guide after each class containing all of the information we learned. 

You can join this class just once, or for a few weeks, a few months, or as a complete academic school-year long course. 

*******
If you as a parent feel that you would love to teach your children Around the World facts, but you don't know much about the places yourself, I have got you covered!!!   ---the curriculum, live answers to their questions, and printable study guide notes to review after class! 
********
We will cover the following topics and more on our quest to become young geographers -

I LOVE GEOGRAPHY!    :) 

**MOST IMPORTANTLY - COUNTRY, CITY, REGIONAL, CONTINENTAL, and WORLD MAPS-
Both Political and Physical/Topographical 

From the most basic maps to the most detailed.
 
Specialty maps such as Population Density 

Historical maps - What caused the map to change? When did it change? 

I also include maps from a Pacific Ocean-centered perspective.   The kids love this!  

Our Country of the Week's Neighbors/ Bordering Countries  - And do you have any questions about any of those neighbors?   I can give on the spot, off the top of my head facts about ANY country/territory! 

Population and any demographic records

Capital cities and other large cities  - What can you do when you really go there?  

FLAGS and their colors/meanings/symbolism - Vexillology  - which is the geographic, historical, and graphic design study of flags. 
Can you find the flag emoji in the chat box?  
Can you draw it with crayons/markers during or after class? 
also inspirations of flags -    The UK Union Jack inspired dozens more flags around the world!    

Currencies and current exchange rates 

Languages Spoken and Major Religions Practiced 

Graphs and Charts about Places, Population, Exports, and More 

Time Zones - What time is it in our Country of the Week? Is it even a different day? 

Bodies of Water - such as  oceans, lakes, rivers, seas, bays, etc. 

Topography and Landforms- Mountains, Volcanoes, Deserts, Islands, Beaches, Rainforests, Glaciers, and more

Standard of Living statistics such as Life Expectancy, Average Income Earned, and Literacy Rate

Animals, National Parks, Landmarks, and Travel Attractions including statues, memorials, cool record-setting buildings, museums, monuments, and more 

Climate and Weather, Natural Disasters Possible

Natural Resources, Plants, Trees, Agriculture (farm animals and food grown), and Industry 

Any current problems the country is experiencing -  such as war, poverty, natural disasters, or more

Territories and Dependencies - such as - France's worldwide possessions of French Guiana, Guadeloupe, and New Caledonia 

Traveling To or Across the Country of the Week by Plane, Train, Ship, Car, and more 

Multiple Other Fun Facts About the Region including world history, diplomacy, geopolitics, government/Presidents/leaders,   food, music, art, sports, the Summer and Winter Olympics, dance, world festivals, and holidays 

Multiple Other Superlative Geographical Facts About the Countries- Is it the largest, smallest, most populated country? Does it contain the tallest waterfall, the highest mountain, the largest coral reef? 

How are the lives of the children in our Country of the Week different from their own? 

Some of the most surprising facts I have ever learned about geography - The kids love these! I like seeing their shocked expressions! 

Geographic definitions and vocabulary - latitude, longitude, the prime meridian, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, equator, tributary, plateau, peninsula, valley, fjord, cape, tundra, delta, archipelago, isthmus, strait, tsunami, and more
