| Description:
As our world "shrinks," the study of geography and the cultures of
the world and its people becomes more and more relevant to our lives. This
class is designed to acquaint students with each continent by studying its
geography, cultures, landforms, climates, resources, economy, religions,
and governments. Students will interpret maps and charts, complete
hands-on projects, pray for each region, and discuss current events of the
world. Students will also identify significant capitals and countries on a
map. Tutor: Kim Witthuhn works as a professional editor and has taught literature, writing, grammar, history, geography, and various electives at homeschool organizations over the last 20 years, including homeschooling her own children. She is also a homeschooling and career consultant and enjoys helping people discover the unique design God gave them. Mrs. Witthuhn graduated from Concordia University with a BA in English and Social Science Education. She lives in Eden Prairie with her husband and enjoys studying the Bible, reading, learning, and spending time with family. 1st Semester Cost: $260,
