Learning Goals
This goal of this course is to expose learners to the different cultures and traditions around the world. I believe this exposure enriches the educational experience for learners and helps them to become an informed global citizen. As they learn to locate countries on the map, their neighboring countries, the physical and human characteristics of a place, it fosters cultural awareness and appreciation. This helps students to develop tolerance and respect for diversity.

Parental Guidance
I utilize platforms like Kahoot!, Blooket, YouTube and Google earth in some lessons whenever possible. Students do not need an account to join in playing Kahoot! and Blooket. I will share a code in the class room that directs them into the game. I will screen share whenever I am sharing from YouTube and Google Earth.
Supply List
I encourage students to have a globe or world map close. I also provide a two-page guide note (with answer key) for students to use during our lessons
