Admit it, unless geography is your passion, the need to remember which is longitude and which is latitude has long since faded. Realizing that, The Ultimate Geography... begins with a wonderful refresher course, not because the terms have changed much since grade school, but because the perspective has. It is also brimming with grade-appropriate lesson plans, games, and activities, including over 100 pages of valuable reproducibles.
In addition, The Ultimate Geography... suggests appropriate tools for teaching geography and how to teach geography through unit studies, which is a more natural approach. And because sometimes situations call for a more intense approach to geography, The Ultimate Geography... also contains a "Pure Geography" section with grade-appropriate scope and sequences. Whatever your approach, The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide could be the only book you will need to teach geography for grades K - 12, and at less than $3.00 a year that is a great value!
This one source book provides you with all you need to know to teach this vital subject from kindergarten through high school. Part lesson plan, part unit study, part inspiration and more.
From selecting appropriate reference materials, to constructing a timeline, to establishing a student notebook, this book will guide you through literature (with Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates), science, history, and includes a complete multi-level geography course for middle and high school students.
