Reseña del libro "Researching my World: Humanities and Social Sciences With Geography & History Foundation - Year 3 (a Pile of Mud) (en Inglés)"
Researching My World was created in such a way that a family can adapt it to their own background, location and country. What better way to teach your learner the skill of research than on topics that relate to themselves. Research is an acquired skill that your learner will benefit from for life.This researching journey starts with the basic topic 'Me' and then follows with 'My Family', 'Where I'm from: My Ancestry', 'My Home', 'My Community', and finishes with 'My City, Town or Suburb'. There are 20 lessons which can be used over 20 or 39 weeks. Two suggested research schedules are offered. Use this curriculum as a tool to guide your family on a social studies research adventure. You will need access to a smart phone or computer with internet access, or for offline research, a library. Other research may consist of a visit to a tourist information centre, obtaining a map from a shopping centre (or online), experiencing a few different optional destinations such as a factory, or posting a letter at the post office. Lots of hands on activities, including interviewing family members, creating a family tree, mapping a bedroom and more. Lesson length will depend upon how in-depth you take the lesson and how fast your student writes etc. A visit to the library will take longer than a quick search on a smart phone. Drawing or painting a picture may take longer than quickly printing, cutting and pasting one into the book. Whatever method your family chooses, this will be an adventure your family will remember and treasure. While colourful, this book has been mostly left void of pictures. This allows your learner to make the book their own by adding their own artwork, such as drawings, and/or photos and images they come across in their research. This tool will become an end product your learner can be proud of and share with others.
