Mapping Our World: A Family-Style Geography Program
Mapping Our World is an activity-based geography program. It teaches skills and principles about map reading and map making as well as taking a tour of the planet touching on regions in every continent. The best part is the family-style design that allows you to teach all ages at once.
A Pick-and-Choose Curriculum A mentor uses Mapping Our World to custom tailor learning to the students. The mentor chooses from among the library book recommendations, video recommendations, and activity ideas presented in the book. Mentors and students learn together as they read, watch, craft, cook, play, and create. To complete the activities you will need craft supplies, a student atlas, a world map or globe, and some household items. This course was designed for multiple ages or abilities of students to learn together in a homeschool or classroom. Units In This Course Mapping Our World includes nine individual month-long units A Layers of Learning Geography Lesson Each Exploration in the units is written as a complete lesson plan. It will direct you to books to read, videos to watch, projects to craft, experiments to perform, and discussions to have. The units are clear full of Explorations to choose from, and you won't have time for them all. This is a pick-and-choose curriculum. Besides the geography lesson for the day, the units are lined with sidebars that direct you to discussions, books, famous people, interesting facts, writing ideas, and more. You will also see a Library List at the beginning and a Show What You Know section at the end that will help you create assessments or tests based on your individual learning.
Reusable and for All Ages These units books are for the mentor, not to hand to the student. They are supposed to be used repeatedly. Since this is a pick-and-choose curriculum, you do some of the explorations and save others for later on. If you follow the four-year cycle, you will progress through People & Planet, Mapping Our World, World Cultures, and People & Place over the course of four years. Then you will cycle back to People & Planet in the fifth year when your kids are older and learning at a higher level. In all, you may use this book three times with your child.
