Asia
Welcome to our Asia Unit...a short and sweet Unit to end our time together as a World Geography Class! This quick unit will focus on the very basics of the Asian continent and we use a very general regional focus to our studies. The activities of this unit revolve around an “Asia Stations” classroom activity, in which students travel in small groups to 12 mini lessons on study specific topics regarding the uniqueness of this continent.
