We will begin with a global review of the continents on the first day, using the overhead projector. We will project the big map of the world on the whiteboard with students drawing and labeling the basic continents on a large sheet of butcher paper. The second day’s geography will repeat the process, singling out Asia , and the third day we will focus on the Himalayas . We can refer back to particular countries and/or regions this way as we move along in our other studies.
