In the Layton home we believe research is a big part of character building! We never spoon-fed our boys the answers to fill in the blanks. We always gave them opportunities and plenty of time to find the answer. You know, do horses sleep standing up? Why is it called “shotgun” when we run to the car? Where did “waiting for the other shoe to drop” come from? Does Sagittarius and sagittal plane have the same root word meaning? What is the word origin for Worry?
“Great question, look it up” has been a response the boys have heard often! Asking great questions, thinking outside of the box, and problem solving are becoming rare skills. Hubs has done more repairs and work around the house because he “read up” on something or watched a YouTube tutorial!
Europe – Mini Packs
These Europe – Mini Packs offer the same opportunity for students to research the answers. I’ve picked the country, provided the landscape, flag, and questions. Students can use an Atlas, Google, or anything else they need to find the most recent information and learn more about each country.
Each pack offers 3 pages. Print what you want, fill in the info, 3-hole punch – happy Geography lesson!
In NO particular order – besides maybe the order in which they were created … Click on the country and download your mini pack!!
