Pages : 56
Book Description
"I can't believe how much I just learned!" That was one mom's response after observing a single class session of Trick Geography. Trick Geography: USA Student Book (Teacher Guide sold separately) is a simple, yet powerful geography curriculum which routinely moves students from geographic illiteracy to command of US states, capitals, and major bodies of water, mountains, deserts, and plains in just a few weeks. And all with ease and high retention! Delightful graphics, phonetic connectors, dot-to-dots, and fill-in-the-blanks facilitate multiple learning styles and make the process more like a game than a curriculum. It is easy enough for elementary students yet sophisticated enough for the high schooler. Teachers appreciate the simple instructions which require virtually no prep time or learning curve and which give students the option of going through the program on their own. Evaluation is a cinch with matching tests which are included. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. 56 pages. (The Trick Geography: World edition is also available.)

High School Geography (Classic Reprint)
Author: George A. Chase
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780267625406
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
Excerpt from High School Geography Of late years the study of Physical Geography has made rapid advances; it forms part of the course of study in higher schools, and has its lectureships and professorships in various universities of the United States and Europe. It is recognized not only as an important study in itself, cultivating the habit of observation and of associating cause and effect, but also as an introduction, or rather an incitement, to the study of various sciences. Physical Geography, a description of Nature in What pertains to the Earth, is eclectic in character. Resting mainly on Geology, and only to a less degree upon Meteor ology, it reaches out to Astronomy, to Mineralogy, to Chemistry, to Biology, and even to History and Political Economy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.

Elementary Geography
Author: Charlotte Mason
Publisher: Ravenio Books
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
This little book is confined to very simple “reading lessons upon the Form and Motions of the Earth, the Points of the Compass, the Meaning of a Map: Definitions.” The shape and motions of the earth are fundamental ideas—however difficult to grasp. Geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning “the meaning of map,” and how to use it. These subjects are well fitted to form an attractive introduction to the study of Geography: some of them should awaken the delightful interest which attaches in a child’s mind to that which is wonderful—incomprehensible. The Map lessons should lead to mechanical efforts, equally delightful. It is only when presented to the child for the first time in the form of stale knowledge and foregone conclusions that the facts taught in these lessons appear dry and repulsive to him. An effort is made in the following pages to treat the subject with the sort of sympathetic interest and freshness which attracts children to a new study. A short summary of the chief points in each reading lesson is given in the form of questions and answers. Easy verses, illustrative of the various subjects, are introduced, in order that the children may connect pleasant poetic fancies with the phenomena upon which “Geography” so much depends. It is hoped that these reading lessons may afford intelligent teaching, even in the hands of a young teacher. The first ideas of Geography—the lessons on “Place”—which should make the child observant of local geography, of the features of his own neighbourhood, its heights and hollows and level lands, its streams and ponds—should be conveyed viva voce. At this stage, a class-book cannot take the place of an intelligent teacher. Children should go through the book twice, and should, after the second reading, be able to answer any of the questions from memory. Charlotte M. Mason
