Summary: On this website, students can visit children in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe to find out what it is like as a child living there.

Relevance: Connection with children geographically and culturally
Authority: a .org site in organization with the National Peace Corps
Accuracy: Personal accuracy of specific "kids around the world" students can be accurate in their portrayal of themselves, and the portrayal of the information of the site shows accuracy
Purpose: connecting students globally through cultural geography
I can use this as a continual lesson, or an open up to a class. Students can use it on their own to learn multicultural aspects of people and their countries. -
