Description
Students are asked to go to the library or bookstore and bring home at least 7 interesting books, one for each continent. You then choose music to listen to as you study each continent. There is a CD you can purchase separately at the publisher website, or find examples online yourself. You will search for websites with information about the world, and you are to look for lots of pictures and details. These basic instructions then lead you to a template for each continent. A person new to the Thinking Tree books may expect there to be some content about the continents in this book, so I wanted to be clear that it all comes from outside sources, and you are filling in the pages of the book with what you research/discover. This one does not use the dyslexie font. Each continent has the same activity pages repeated through the book. 172 pgs, pb. ~Sara
