The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide is designed to incorporate geography with other school subjects and curriculum so that it will be relevant and memorable, not isolated and disjointed. First, the authors impart enthusiasm for the subject matter, give the teacher a geography refresher course, and then provide practical, interesting, even fun ways to intertwine geography with other subjects. Included are teaching tips, geography basics, lesson plans, reproducible activity pages and outline maps, a timeline with 300+ figures, all in a convenient digital PDF format, accessible with the serial number found on the inside back cover of the book. Chapter 7 includes a unit study for Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates, so you will need a copy of that book as well. As protection for the overachieving teacher, a scope and sequence limits the amount of activities to be used in any one year. Please note that all printable content is included online as downloadable PDFs, making the book itself much smaller. All forms, resources and consumables that are available as PDFs are noted in the margins of the book. Just register the serial number and you will receive a link to download the PDFs. A digital download version of The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide is also available.
