The second volume in A Child’s Geography from Master Books explores the Middle Eastern countries of Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan over the course of 16 chapters. Each chapter is split into 2 sections, allowing flexibility for younger and older students with the weekly readings. Through the engaging and colorful text, students will explore this culturally rich area through photos, maps, and narratives. Adventure Challenges in each chapter ask questions covering the materials just read. Mapping activities throughout have students drawing locations, houses, and their own maps. The Travel Log activities at the end of each chapter prompt students to document things that they want to remember about that specific location. Each chapter is filled with vocab words, differing skills worksheets that reinforce concepts, and creative activities (poetry, calligraphy, games, recipes, and more) that bring geography to life. Beginning material includes teacher information: the schedule, materials lists for each chapter, and how-tos for the course. Ending materials include Scripture copywork (taken from the KJV), chapter reviews, and answer keys. You may find it helpful to have a student atlas open while you work. 400 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca

Explore His Earth takes your family on a journey through and around the earth, learning everything about the Earth as a whole, before venturing into individual continents and countries. Each volume offers well-written text, colorful graphics, Memory Joggers (narration), and activities. Projects vary – for example, map the location of shoes found washed up on shore, make an edible earth, create mosaics, and more. Activity pages (reproducible for individual/ family) help students to build a geography notebook. Activities vary – simple drawing or coloring pages, short answer/fill-in-the-blank questions, word searches, Scripture copywork, and more! Activities are clearly not “tacked on” because they relate to the topic; they are well-chosen for children to enjoy! Chapter reviews, semester exams, and answer keys are also included. For teachers, there is helpful information, a materials list and suggested 3-Day Schedule. These editions have notable visual and organizational differences, making them very user-friendly.
