Seven Amazing Continents - Travel Dreams Geography - The Thinking Tree: World Geography & Social Studies The Creative Research Handbook for Library & Internet Based Learning

I am using these for children ages 9-17 and it works well all together since the writing is so open ended. Very fun way to study the world.

Have several books from the thinking tree and this one is my absolute favorite! There’s a chapter for each continent with awesome research assignment on the countries, the animals, the arts…etc. beautiful 😍

Perfect book to add to our homeschool collection!

This, like most of The Thinking Tree books is a researched based book which requires you provide internet or other books to be able to fill out the worksheets in this book. I bought this book for our homeschool history/geography studies for the next school year. What I like about this book is that not only are you doing book research you are coloring, challenging the student to answer questions about the continents, and finding the beauty of the world. This book can be shared with our 4 homeschoolers which means we save money (read more about it at the end of the review).Research pages for each continent include:1. What do you know about it?2. A World Wonder Searches - You research the accompanying picture's photo and try to find it online to write about the "wonder" or your student finds another beautiful place in that continent - Name it, the country it is in, 5 facts, and illustrating it themselves. There are a different number of illustrations to find in the continent.3. Animal Pages - List 10 Animals and Draw Them4. Countries Pages - Write the names of the countries of Africa and write the corresponding number on the accompanying map on the subsequent page.5. Travel Dreams Pages - Where would you like to go? Why do you want to go there? What is the climate like? A unique fact. Illustrate the place you want to go.6. Movie Time - Watch a movie documentary about the country. Rate it and draw your favorite scene.7. Drawing Time - Copy an illustration from one of your books.8. Reading Time - Write about the books you are reading about this continent.9. Story Writing Time - Write a creative story that occurs in your continent.10. Music of the World - Listen to traditional music and describe the instruments used and songs you listened to.11. Favorites Page - Write in your favorite things about the continent.It is very thorough and can be used with one student over an extended amount of time. Or it can be used in a group of students, especially with teaching multi-level homeschooling by dividing the pages between your various children and watching the movies, sharing books, etc. This book was created so that you can make multiple copies for only the children in your household which is a win-win if you're wanting to save money and do this all together.

This is a beautiful workbook which I loved paging through. The sketches made me want to travel and paint! The activities are the same review most people do while studying the world (country names, locations, animals, music, book reports, etc). It's important to note these are only fill in the blank pages to use with your own resources, they don't do any of the teaching for you. Like the cover said, it's a tool to correspond with research. I originally purchased this with hopes of using a handful of them for my Kindergarten and 2nd grader. Unfortunately I just don't think they are quite right for this age level. The suggested guide says 9+ and I agree, that makes better sense. I'll keep it in mind for the future. One star deducted because the pages are not serrated to rip out. For a work book like this that is a huge downside. You can't easily copy and share the pages, and this is a pretty high pricepoint to buy each child their own book.

my daughter loves it thank you so much

Perfect way to learn geography in a fun way!! You use books you have or from the library, Videos from YouTube , documentaries, movies, and the internet to resurch the 7 amazing continents! What a fun and non boring way to learn geography. We are really excited to use this in out homeschooling this year.

There are a couple typos. On the section tabs for Asia.... in the middle of them age some mislabeled as Africa.Other than that this is a great book!Haha took me forever to see that the Wonders of each continent (the pictures) are listed with the answers in the back of the book.

My five-year-old saw the video for this journal and just had to have it! He loves this book and can't wait to start it.

Amazing!!

We will have library time with this book
