#12 Know Your World: The true size of Africa
▶️ Africa is often poorly understood. Some people think it’s one country, some people think it’s not so big and, worst of all, some people think that this place doesn’t matter much. Meanwhile Asia is ageing and Africa is the youngest and may soon become the most dynamic (=active, developing fast) continent.

#24 Know Your World: The real meanings of country names
▶️ The names of foreign countries often sound unique and exotic (=strange in an interesting way, from a faraway place) to our ears. They often have a really ordinary or strange meaning. Someone made a world map with the literal meanings (=word-for-word meaning) of every country name.

#32 Know Your World: The illusion of choice
▶️ Our supermarkets are full of colourful products. We have a dazzling (=very impressive) choice. Or do we? Yes and no. Most products are actually made by the same few companies. They hide behind different brands, grab shelf space, control prices, advertise heavily, buy up competitors and even make the cheaper no-name products just to keep other companies out.
Europe and America are very much in the hands of these big companies and they’re doing everything to get bigger in other parts of the world, too.

#49 Know Your World: What East and West think about each other

I’m sure you can relate some points to your experience!

Know Your World #70: Bloom’s Taxonomy

❓Why does it matter?
❗️Whether we are students or teachers, we need to aim for higher thinking skills in education.
