This notebook is the major focus of the student's year. Part of this introductory three-week study is instructions for setting up a world geography notebook. The author suggests this part of the study could be augmented by science courses from Master Books. The first unit starts with creation and spends three weeks exploring the physical make-up of the earth.

Units cover an earth overview plus units focused on each of the continents (Australia/New Zealand/Oceania, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Antarctica) and a final week of review plus "show and tell" presentations (optional). The course book is a roadmap, providing 36 weeks (5 days per week) and 8 units. In fact, there are separate assignments for younger (3rd - 6th grade) and older (7th - 12th grade) students at many points in the study. Geared, perhaps, to middle school, the course is adaptable for slightly younger as well as for older students. The obvious answer to why we study geography? We might end up in Timbuktu! Part of the Living History of Our World series, this course provides a creation-based, investigative approach to world geography that explores both geographical regions and specific countries encouraging a worldview perspective.
Student world atlas full#
This is a great basic atlas for students and is full of interesting information from countries and cultures around the world. Includes updated country flags and fact boxes, web links, glossary of terms, thematic & place-name indexes. 50 charts and graphs display interesting data and statistics, and there is a section colorfully displaying flags of all 195 countries. There are thematic sections on environmental hot spots, refugees and conflicts, diffusion of popular culture and more. What's great about this atlas is that parts of it have an encyclopedia feel to it, with over sixty full-color photographs of people, plants, landmarks, and animals native to different countries and regions. Like most atlases, political and physical maps of the world and the continents are included, but this one doesn't label as many cities or landmarks. This 144 page atlas has over 100 maps created especially for students that may not be as detailed as maps in other atlases, but when combined with other aspects in this book, provide students with a well-rounded look of the world.
