Curriculum Overview
Your child is ready to study the continent that they live on. Daily Wonder Grade 6 offers lessons about the continent of Europe. Daily Wonder Grade 7 offers lessons on the continent of Africa and Asia. For this unit, we will guide the lessons based on the study of North America. If you live on a different continent, and would prefer that your child studies that one, then you can take the daily lessons and adjust them to suit your needs.
This unit will guide your child to gain a broad overview of the continent’s geographical landscape, the biomes, the Indigenous way of living in harmony with the land, and the conflict around differing values when it comes to natural resources.
This unit will also guide your child to consider the role of African slavery in the building of North America.
During this unit, your child will be encouraged to get curious and seek to inquire into a specific region or country of North America. They will create a written report or story, drawings of the region, a map of the area, and then present their project to an audience in the form of an oral presentation. This project will be guided between Day 7 (when the topic should be chosen) and Day 15 when it should be presented. Feel free to adjust the project and/or timelines to suit your child’s needs. The timeline can be extended into the Flex Week.
