For this 7-week asynchronous class, learners will travel to each continent of the world, and learn about different countries, flags, animals, and cultures of each continent, too. We will be using the Montessori puzzle map for a project together as well.
Each week, there will be video lesson presentations, Kahoot quizzes about the flags of each country and about each continent during each week, a project where each learner will make a watercolor version of the Montessori puzzle map, and virtual field trips. There will also be scavenger hunts to finding certain flags from certain countries and finding facts about countries, too.
WEEK ONE- There will be an intro to the continents day on Monday, and there will be a video presentation of the “Continents Song” that can be accessed at any point during the course. We will begin our first continent lesson with North America. We will talk about each country of North America (Canada, United States, Greenland, and Mexico). The flags will also be displayed for each country as well. We will also be starting our world puzzle map project together.
WEEK TWO- We will learn about the continent of South America, with its countries and flags.
WEEK THREE- We will learn about the continent of Africa, with its countries and flags.
WEEK FOUR- We will learn about the continent of Europe, with its countries and flags.
WEEK FIVE- We will learn about the continent of Asia, with its countries and flags.
WEEK SIX- We will learn about the continent of Australia, and the six states of Australia, along with Oceania.
WEEK SEVEN- We will learn about the continent of Antarctica, and why not a lot of people live on this continent. We will also be finalizing our puzzle map together! We will do a big scavenger hunt of all the countries and flags around the world, too.
