Travel Around the World in Your
Very Own Home
I recently put this lesson together for my students. It's simple, fun, and educational! I've included a short video I created for my students that goes with the lesson. Happy Traveling!
Have you ever been fascinated with a particular country or region of the world? Today, I invite you to go on a journey to the country of your choosing. The beauty is that you don’t even need to pack a bag or leave your home!So, let’s get started:
Process:
Step # 1: Choose the country of your choice
Step # 2: Learn about the music that comes from that country. Answer the following questions:
- Who performs it?
- What is the style of music called?
- When is it performed (i.e. at home, for various festivals, religious ceremonies, etc.)
- Where is it traditionally performed?
- Why is it performed? What is the purpose?
Step # 3: Try to find some recordings of your chosen country’s music. You can find recordings on Itunes, Spotify, YouTube, or just ask Alexa. :)
Step # 4: Write a short paragraph describing the music you are hearing. Include your thoughts about the music. Did you like it? If yes, why? Maybe you didn’t like it. If not, how come?
Step # 5: Draw a picture of your chosen country’s flag.
Step # 6: Pray for the people of your chosen country. Pray for their health and safety and that God would turn the people in this country to Him.
Extension:
Consider finding a recipe from this country and preparing it for your family. You can set the mood by playing music from your chosen country while preparing and serving your dish. Enjoy!!!!
