Along with award-winning literature, this course includes nature study, folktales, fables, music, art, poetry, cuisine, and history. Gentle Socratic questions are designed to prompt discussion and discovery. Geographic elements include country maps and flags for students to cut out, paint or color, encouraging journaling of all the student is learning.
