The document discusses an English classroom project called "English Around the World" where students learn about different English-speaking countries. They painted a map of the world on the wall and started by researching and presenting information about Canada, including facts, pictures, and activities like making pancakes. Next, they moved on to learning about England. The project also involved coloring in countries on individual maps, creating bulletin boards with information, and putting materials in folders. Preschool students were also involved in the project.
