Week A4
Topic: Intro to studying the world
There are two parts of this topic we will be learning as an intro to studying all of the different countries around the world. First, the students need to be able to read and understand a map, and second, they need a basic overview of governments so that they can classify each country we study.
Maps (important concepts: scale, legend, compass rose, longitude and latitude):
