This is a fantastic idea assignment. Kids will have to think about each country and landscape. Many schools just use rote memorization rather than something that will "stick" with the kiddos. WW, by calling this out, are you making some claim against this assignment? I assume you all have a vast understanding of multiple intelligence theory...And this is an ARTS focused school, where, presumably, art is integrated into the curriculum as much as possible. Creativity in the classroom is hard to come by. Stay out of its way, please.
