GEOGRAPHY

Integrating social studies skills with geography content, the 40 lessons and 66 handouts in this expansive resource introduce students to variations in physical geography in addition to focusing on political, economic, religious, and cultural divisions. The five fundamental geographic themes of location, place, relationships within places, movement, and regions are reinforced in activities that incorporate reading, studying, research, and mapping skills. Representative lessons: “Outlining: Geographic Influences on Lifestyles in the Middle East”, “Using Dictionaries” (geographic terms), “Determing Location” (modern Olympic sites), “Using Graphs: AIDS,” and “Comparing and Contrasting” (map projections).
