MESSAGE TO THE TEACHER

Year after year of national testing continues to show less than satisfying results of student

knowledge and understanding of basic geography skills. The results might well be even

more dismal if the adult population were tested. Because the United States is a powerful

nation offering continued assistance to others all over the world, we have become

internationalists. Yet we are very weak when it comes to knowing even our own country.

With our planet in peril, there is an almost obligatory wave of support for placing more

emphasis on a knowledge of our earth. At the very base of that knowledge must lie

an adequate grasp of geography skills and concepts. That is, in reality, what this book

is all about. You will find an obvious "save-the-planet" and "you-can-make-a-difference"

theme woven into many oc the activities and projects. Yet the main focus remains on

improving geography skills and knowledge of basic concepts.

The book is divided into several sections that combine to make it a convenient resource

for the teacher. The first part includes activities that will enrich and reinforce a number

of map reading skills. Becoming familiar with the use of a compass, learning directions,

examining different kinds of maps, ;earning about latitude and longitude, time zones

and developing proficiency in reading various kinds of maps are the objectives of this

first section of the book.

The next section examines a number of concepts and definitions that are most important

in developing an understanding of geography. Each term begins with a brief explanation,

followed by activities that get students involved in further investigation. Some of the

activities are research-based; others employ the discovery method; still others require

map reading skills. Many of the activities were designed to improve student writing

potential. Investigating the causes for the phenomena of nature that are so much a part

of our environment and daily routine are the main focus of this major section of the

book.

"Peoples of the World" compares the basic essentials of living that are common to all

of us, regardless of where on earth we live. Multicultural topics include clothing, language,

homes, food, money, crafts and celebrations. These subjects are the focus of the puzzles

and activities contained in this section.

There is also a section containing outline maps that can be used by the teacher in a

variety of ways according to personal preference. Several suggestions are provided that

can be used to determine student proficiency in reading maps.

A Planet in Peril culminates the entire book with a "where-do-we-go-from-here?" theme

that gives students food for thought and leaves them with reflections on the future of

our planet.

There is a card game, too, that can be used as a review of all terms and concepts that

are investigated throughout the book and a complete answer key for teacher convenience.
