Geography was woven into the grid activity again this week. We talked about caves, a new vocabulary word for all of the students. After showing a picture from an encyclopedia, some students said they had seen caves while others had not. One woman asked if caves and graves were the same thing. I explained what a grave is used for, which she knew, and then said that graves were only for deceased people. I told her living people like to explore caves, but it was hard to explain that caves could also be used as graves.
We talked about mountains, valleys and deserts and learners had varying options on whether they liked these regions. Many people said they did not like deserts because of the dry climate and snakes. Aziza, the brave one of the group, said she would like to go because she enjoys seeing new places. This brought to mind the time when we were talking about flying airplanes, and everyone in the class decided they’d be too scared to be a pilot, except for Aziza!
