Q: Will my students like this unit?
There are a lot of boring geography lessons out there that make students think that geography isn't necessary or fun to learn. This unit flips that script! Students will get to engage with real-world geography problems in a kid-friendly way.
Q: Can this resource be used with Google Slides?
The content is taught through reading passages and hands-on activities. It's designed to be taught by diving in and using the skills right away, so it's not best for a Google Slides 'lecture' format.

Yes! If you purchase our full-year curriculum, this unit is included. Save 40% off when you buy our full-year social studies curriculum.
