This description is regarding the Discover Italy: A Book A Day Study
Learn about the geography of different countries through literature. Written in an open-and-go format, this study uses multiple living picture books to learn about Italy. Many of the books are written by own voices or people with strong ties to the country.
The books and activities are interdisciplinary, covering multiple subjects during the course of the study. In a manner similar to unit studies, different subjects are covered that all relate to Italy.
This geography curriculum is written as a non-biased, non-religious study. This gives families the flexibility to view it through the lens of their own religious worldviews as they see fit. Religions and religious beliefs of people in the country are discussed, specifically the holidays of Christmas and Easter.
Many of the activities follow a Charlotte Mason approach. These activities include: living stories, copywork, map drawing, art study, and composer study.
Whether you read about Italy in the news or know someone from the country, my hope is that this study provides a cultural immersion for your students that they will always remember.
