How to Teach Students about the World!

If the World Were a Village: A Book about the World's People
by David J Smith

Fantastic way to help students grasp all the different cultures in the world.

This clever author wrote a book about what the world would be like if it was just 100 people in a village.

Each person in the village represent the 62 million people that make up part of the world's actual population.

The book is eye opening to students as they see that only 7 of the 100 villagers would own computers.

Interesting, huh?

I would love to read this to my geography students to introduce populations and cultures.

The book is Grade 3-5 reading level.
