Odyssey by Richmond - American English Course for Children

Odyssey is a new six-level English series with a strong sense of discovery and wonder in its stories, language activities and cultural topics. It will awaken children’s curiosity as it takes them on a learning odyssey where they travel the world and reflect on universal values – always accompanied by Cam, the curious chameleon who adapts easily to different surroundings. The Student’s Book has nine units, with seven two-page lessons each, and a Language Review every three units. And as students travel through it on their learning odyssey, Cam steers them around an opening Tale with reading comprehension activities; Cam’s Song and Values; they meet Zoe and Joey the grammar guides; jive to the Big World, Small World jingle while exploring culture; check in at Cam’s Checkpoints; practice oral and aural skills with Cam’s communicative Chat; and learn steps in a writing process. If that’s not enough to keep your students busy, the book also includes pair work activities, a sticker section and the self-evaluation Checkpoint at the back! The Practice Book is organized for students to practice the language they have learned in class and personalize it. It contains a similar Big World, Small World culture spread to the Student’s Book, to learn about a different country through fun activities. Students will also finish the final draft of their writing process texts in their Practice Book.
