Hi, I’m from Ukraine. I should say that our methodology of learning English “a bit” differs from yours. Very often it’s just a piece of chock and a blackboard. Our government does not concern about the way of learning English. They just tell what to do but they don’t give any financial support. Sorry for these words but it’s my pain.
Your ideas are great. This way we can discover new unique ideas. Unusual ways of thinking and excepting information. Children can come up with incredible ideas through analysing the information. And what is more the don’t realise that they learn English. It’s cool! Thanks a lot!

It was really a very useful video. The longitudes meet at both the poles, but they never meet in the map. The farther we go from equator, the more is the stretch. The experiment done by the teacher by giving a tiny globe each really helped the learners to think critically. Great job!

Anyone have any tips on how this lesson would convey in an online classroom? I'm all ears.
