This year I am head-over-heels to have been selected to be on The Old Schoolhouse curricula review team. I am really looking forward to trying out some new products and writing about them.
The first product I have been given to review is an ebook entitled Travel the World, published by The Old School House. This study begins with a general discussion of the earth, its axis, the equator, longitude, latitude and other geography basics. What is nice about the ebook format is that vocabulary the student may be unfamiliar with is highlighted in blue and you can link to a definition. You will find this feature through out the study.
Next, you will delve into the seven continents and information pertinent to them, such as major bodies of water, mountain ranges and the like. Additionally, there are links to on line games and further study.
This study is suited to do as a lapbook or notebook, as there templates that can be printed off that would work well for either. The author has also provided helpful links to lapbook sites, and since this is an ebook, you just click and look.
Best of all, to my mind, are the scriptures scattered about this study. I really like how everything is connected to God our creator. If you are a family who enjoys units studies, lapbooking, notebooking, and would like to study some geography this reasonably prices ebook should have strong appeal.
The price of this resource is $7.95 and you can purchase it here: http://thehomeschoolmagazine.com/TOSEBookSellSheets/Modules/10June/June2010-Travel-the-World.htm
Members of the TOS Crew received a free download of this e-book for review purposes.
