For families and teachers wanting more instruction and
structure for Charlotte Mason’s Elementary Geography (#066878), homeschool mom
Lisa Eveland had the same desire. Thus, the Living Geography Book 1 curriculum
was developed. This curriculum includes a revised and expanded edition of the
text. In addition to the Living Geography Book 1 text there are also additional
electronic articles for older students to read that the publisher will provide
access to upon purchase.
Additional convenient components to the text are the
Teacher’s Notes, which are indispensable. Providing prep lists for activities,
directions for each activity, questions to ask, check lists to organize your
lesson, and areas to take notes—you will feel completely equipped to walk
students, of any age, through Charlotte Mason’s geography course. The Maps and
Pictures Book will provide a visual for certain lessons aiding in further
comprehension. Includes global maps, continent maps, room layouts, and striking
photographs from around the world. Students are equipped with a lesson outlined
Geography Notebook to take down their own notes and drawings throughout the
program, these are outlined in the Teacher’s Notes book. Finally, the Exam
Questions & Answers book is a place to write down exam questions and document
students’ answers to any exam questions given.
While these components are not necessary to complete
or work through Elementary Geography or Living Geography Book 1, they are
incredibly helpful in organizing and walking students and teachers through the
course and facilitating getting the most out of Charlotte Mason’s geography
text. ~Rebecca
