April Week 2: Geo-Conquest



GEO-CONQUEST

CORE CLASS: This week we will be looking at Asia (with a focus on southern and eastern Asia) and practicing some initiative as we come up with projects and kites for our Kite-flying Asian festival!

I. SEEK KNOWLEDGE:  Do all five
1. Plan out your week with your mentor/parent like in a weekly accountability meeting.
2. Study a map of Asia and memorize as many as you can! (We are focusing on Eastern and Southern Asia.)  I will be using the following in class, with the items to identify from two pages http://www.docstoc.com/docs/110722916/UNIT-6-ASIA-Outline-Maps_-08-09
3. Read “The Hill” section of “Charlie’s Monument”
4. Research the Bali festival by reading the info at: http://www.holidaysia.com/events/bali-kite-festival/
5. Now re-read the scripture and quote from Teddy Roosevelt (at least once!) and think about what all these things have in common.
II. GAIN UNDERSTANDING: do both the following for our Kite Flying Festival!
Bring something Asian for our fair: food, clothes, decorations, music, games, art activities
Bring a kite that you made or that you bought to fly (if the weather holds).  Regardless, bring them and Miss Abby Gilbert will be awarding prizes!
III.  INTELLIGENCE:
Come and participate in our Kite Flying Festival, bringing your cool projects to share!
