U.S. Geography comes to life through literature! Follow a mountain-climbing grandmother, fruit-tree hauling pioneers, a homesick city boy in a desert and many more interesting characters as they lead us on journeys around the United States.
This class will encourage the students love of adventure and curiosity about the world around them with hilarious and heartwarming stories, discussion questions, hands-on activities, recipes, and more.
From tundra to volcanoes, beaches to deserts, mountains to badlands, students will learn geographic terms, functional mapping skills, and how to use a compass.
At the end of the course, students will have a rich foundational understanding of U.S. geography, state symbols, directions, and mapping. Most importantly, I hope that this class inspires your students to get outside to see and experience all the natural beauty this nation offers.
