Explore Europe with our outstanding Geography Lesson! Students will learn about different parts of Europe, share their thoughts, and have meaningful discussions about climate, landmarks, culture, and what interests them.

In Activity 1, students make collages of their favorite European spots and show them to the class. Activity 2 has small groups talking about their dream European holidays while thinking about what we’ve learned. Finally, in Activity 3, students present their top European pick with facts or stories. At the end, students walk around to see each other’s work and think about what they’ve learned. During the lesson, students practice sharing ideas, having good conversations, and showing what they think in a clear way.
