3.0 out of 5 stars
Not enough info,
By Carrie Lauducci (LIVERPOOL, NY, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Africa: Grades 3-6 (Paperback)
The book has great ideas, but a lot of the information for the students to learn is not in the book. There are a lot of questions that students need to use atlases, the internet, or other non-fiction reference books to answer the questions. I do not have a lot of the resources needed for the students to answer the questions.

This review is from: Africa: Grades 3-6 (Paperback)
This book was not what I expected it to be. It is more of a workbook than a informational book. WE are doing a study taking a virtual trip around the world. We had hoped for more information instead we got a workbook without the answers.
