In addition, a variety of extended bonus activities are included to insure that your students receive a thorough understanding of each country while building basic skills. Bonus activities include: extended writing activities for each country, extended 'Research-the-Facts' activities for each country, 'World-Record Facts' and activities, 'Write-to-the-Embassy' bonus activities, and more!
