 "Around the World in 180 Days teaches geography and history on a continent-by-continent basis.
The student learns about the major countries on each continent, as well as the
basics of the continent’s history, geography, and culture." Multi-level.
"This is not a textbook. It is a series of questions that the student
must research in order to answer. Plenty of resources (available in most public
libraries) are listed to help the student in his or her research, and the
teacher’s edition has all of the answers. Thus, even if the student cannot find
the answer, you will not be lost. The pages in the student book are all
three-hole punched and perforated so that the student can fill out the
worksheets and compile a notebook which will document his or her work."
"The great thing about this curriculum is that it written with a
[truly] multilevel
approach! There are questions for students of all levels, and those levels
are clearly marked in the curriculum. As a result, the youngsters can do some of
the research, the older students can do different research, and the oldest
students can answer the most challenging questions. This is truly a curriculum
that your whole family can study at once! Because many students can use this
curriculum at once, extra student worksheets are available at a significantly
reduced cost."
The author also gives excellent book choices for the study of each continent. In addition the author recommends the

as your main resource book when you are studying the continent of Africa.
"Contents include an overview of Africa and divides the continent into five
regions. Journey through each region by visiting seven countries written
as an adventure. Dig into African history to see how European countries
influenced the continent. See Africa's beauty in over 550 photos and
create a visual image of the continent with over 75 beautifully designed maps."

If you are the sort of homeschooler who likes to find
library books that go along with your curriculum, then you'll want to get All
Through the Ages to accompany the Around the World in 180 Days curriculum. That
curriculum does include some suggested books for each continent, I think it is
nice to have more choices. Click here to

Geography Matters
 Galloping the Globe "is a delightful way to introduce young
children to all aspects of geography. It provides fun and creative methods to
explore many cultures around the world without overwhelming young children.
One of the best features is that the curriculum can be use as a stand-alone unit
study or as a resource to enhance another world geography studies." (from the
back cover of Galloping the Globe) This is a geography-based curriculum that can be used for one to
three years. Galloping the Globe is organized by continent and
incorporates the student notebook approach. For each country, it integrates eight categories
of learning activities including basic geography, people and history,
literature, science, vocabulary, music and art projects, Internet sources, and
Bible. Galloping the Globe is an introduction to world geography for
grades K-3. |
