Fogg and Passepartout’s Journey Across India
The book took us on a very detailed journey through the varying landscapes of India, and I thought it might be quite nice to show visually what Verne was describing in his book, as Fogg and Passepartout made their way across India.
This took a long time and required us to convert the places mentioned in Around the World into modern day places in order to find them on the map and print pictures. ย The journey spanned four pages of our scrap book. ย We were all really pleased with the result though, and it was well worth it to have this visual.
The overall trip across the map:
Bombay to Milligaum:
Milligaum to Banares
Banares to Calcutta:
Charlotte going over the journey:
Bold Believers in India
We also worked through the Bold Believers in India:
Once we had finished the reading and completed the activities, we made a scrap book page to remind us of everything we had learnt:
Around the Dictionary in 80 Words
These are the words the children have to use this week:
Tomorrow I will be sharing our 80 hours around the house ๐
One response to “Around the World in 80 Days: Week 2 – India Part Two”
Some of those words I knew the definition of long before I knew the CORRECT pronunciation, I have a reader’s vocabulary, I know what the word means, but not how to say it.
I wish my kids enjoyed constructing books like that more. They love the end results, but truly hate doing it.
