Our final main unit of year one, South America, is one of the last units in our connecting continents series (yes, we did do one on Antarctica in year two, but as there are no individual countries, cultures, nor many animals, it is very different from our other ones.)
With a day in the life, stunning art, tons of amazing animals, and 20 different countries to explore, this unit will open your eyes to cultures, languages, and diverse customs around the world.
Our writing project for this unit is to write an article/news report. Students will be learning about reliable sources, how to conduct an interview, editing, and newspaper layout, and more. We also included a Spanish feature in our notebooking pages each day for a foreign language component (vetted by a native Spanish speaker). Come join us to read some incredible missionary stories, what life is like, animals, geography, and much more as we explore this amazing continent together.
