As explained in the subtitle, A Child's Introduction to Cultures Around the World, this is the first book in a non-fiction collection about life in other countries from a child's perspective.
The first country to be introduced is Mexico.
The author's main purpose is to give an idea about life and culture in Mexico to young readers: its capital city, language, festivals, monuments, food, etc.
It could be also used as a starting point for elementary school students to do some individual or group research about other countries and it's a good excuse to learn the 'second conditional'.
Grammar and Geography brought together to let the children investigate and appreciate the many cultures that inhabit our planet.
Colorful illustrations and a pronunciation table complete the whole experience.
Don't miss the next issues: France,Turkey, South Korea, Norway and Kenya are on the way!
I design series of activities based on a communicative method that will help children to practice the grammar they're learning at school.
Many ESL activities, I see, are nothing more than 'fill in the blank' exercises that only teach kids how to fill in blanks and miss the whole point of learning to speak and understand a new language.
It's much easier and more fun to learn by doing, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll see valuable results!!!
