Introduce children to the sights and sounds of Our Great
Big World with this God-centered, beautifully illustrated, and engagingly
written world geography curriculum. There are 90 lessons for one year of study,
at a pace of 3 lessons per week. Each
lesson includes a short reading (about 15 minutes to read aloud), followed by
comprehension questions from the Lesson Review Book, a globe activity, and a
related mapping activity from the Altas Workbook. Additional activities vary
and may include coloring pages, a read-aloud literature selection, a folktale
or song, or other related activity. Once a week (or after every 3 lessons)
there is a family activity suggestion. These activities range from craft
projects to games. Easy-to-find craft supplies are necessary. You will also need a globe and access to the
internet with a connected device (smart phone/tablet/computer) to listen to the
songs and folktales that accompany the text through a QR code (or link). The
program also includes 7 recommended literature titles to introduce children to
different regions of our world.
There are several components necessary for Our Great Big
World. The hardcover Student Textbook, hardcover Folktales and Songs book, the
softcover Answer Key and Literature Guide, and the softcover consumable student
Lesson Review, Atlas Workbook, and Coloring Books. Components are available
individually or sold together in a complete Curriculum Package.
