World Geography Charlotte Mason style

My dd came home last year as a 10th grader.  She was very used to textbooks and so that is what we did.  She had a good year, but she would watch N. doing his projects and commented that she would like at least one subject where she could do something other than textbooks.  She had already done World History and American History so we decided that this year she would do World Geography.  She didn't get much of this in school since it isn't on any achievement tests.  We are using the free plans from Harmony Art Mom's blog.  I tweaked them a little bit to add in "Operation World" and "Windows on the World" to give  a mission focus.  She is loving doing the notebooking, art projects and cooking.  This week she made Irish Stew for dinner.  Not only did we do World Geography, but also Home Economics, because peeling potatoes and carrots is not something she has really ever done.  I think she loves having this class in the middle of things like Physics and Algebra 2 and English Lit..  It definitely breaks up the day.

She is reading about the different World Religions and then doing a notebook page.
