Did you know that Africa is a landlocked country, so it is hard to trade there?
I sure didn't....I guess I learn something new everyday.
Now in all serious...I'm proud that my students try to use new vocabulary like "landlocked" in their essays, (even if they use the word wrong) but i'm still kind of worried that some think that Africa is a country. They know that the Suez Canal cuts trade time in half, and they know where it is located, but they still struggle with the difference of a Continent vs Country.
The good news.......everyone can now point to Africa on the map!!!! Believe it or not, that is a big step for some from the first of the year.....YAY
