them to answer in their daily journals. Journals are placed on the student’s desks
before class begins, and the students are responsible for putting them back on the
shelves after they are finished. Entries are read by me during group time for me to
add comments and ensure they have been completed correctly.

Question - What continent is Egypt located on?

This will tie into the fact that we will be discussing different countries, and will make
them excited to know what the lesson is going to be about.
