Exploring Countries and Cultures Teacher's Manual

Daily lesson plans are in an easy-to-use weekly chart format. Charts list each subject with page numbers of books to read and instructions for using Student Sheets. Many activities will be suitable for all ages; additional activities are suggested for older students. Many simple hands-on activities are included in the Teacher's Manual to reinforce the study of geography

Student pages are not included in the Teacher's Manual. You will need to purchase the Parent/Teacher Supplement and Student Sheets separately.

If you own an older edition of Exploring Countries and Cultures, consider upgrading to the current edition. The core of the program has not changed, but several books have been revised or replaced.
