Category Description for Living Geography

Living Geography was developed by homeschool mom Lisa Eveland as a full curriculum for Charlotte Mason’s Elementary Geography. The Book 1 Text has been updated, Americanized, and expand­ed with full color photos, and additional poetry. Each lesson of Living Geography typically starts with a poem or prose reading, followed by textual information. Additional digital articles and readings for older students (7th-12th) are provided by the publisher upon purchase of the Teacher’s Notes or Curriculum Set. There are 39 lessons allowing for a relaxed year of geography study. Emphasizing student’s own observation skills, combined with appropriate literature excerpts, appreciation of art, docu­menting discoveries, and hands-on learning— geography comes alive. 

A necessary component is the Teacher’s Notes. These provide 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. It includes global maps, continent maps, room layouts, and striking photographs from around the world. The Geography Notebook gives students an opportunity to write down their own notes and drawings throughout the program. These prompts and activities are outlined in the Teacher’s Notes book. Finally, the Exam Questions & Answers book offers a place to write down exam questions and document students’ answers to any exam questions given.

While the Living Geography text is a wonderful stand-alone read, it becomes a wonderful resource for geography studies when combined with the additional recommended course components, both for the student and the teacher alike. ~Rebecca
