These photos could be used to introduce a topic about Mongolia, explore the wildlife or draw comparisons between Mongolia and the UK. They are all taken by me. They show a black squirrel, the dusty roads, landscapes, Takhi horses (Przewalski’s horse), marmots, a ger settlement, an eagle in the sky, a crane and some deer. Pack includes 16 photographs on slides.

Pack includes PPT, worksheets and lesson plan.

They aren't that fancy buy can be edited fairly easily.
