Publisher's Description of Trail Guide to U.S. Geography: Student Notebook All Levels - Digital Download
This Trail Guide to U.S. Geography Student Notebook is a downloadable set of printable pre-formatted templates and outline maps for creating the awesome personal geography student notebooks recommended in the Trail Guide to U.S. Geography.
One of the most common questions we are asked at conventions and by phone regarding our Trail Guides is: "Where is the student book?" Our answer, "No workbook is needed because your students will create their own geography notebooks while they are learning," led to the next question, "How do we create a notebook?" Although you can build a geography student notebook using the information included in the Trail Guide to U.S. Geography, many folks prefer additional guidance. If you don't know how to create a student notebook, want more structure, or simply don't have time to figure it out for yourself, this is just what you need to catch the vision!
Over 500 pages include:
Geography Trails Questions: Separate pages with ALL THREE levels of daily geography trails questions and a place to put the answers.
Outline Maps: Specific outline maps required for each week and the list of mapping assignments.
Notebook Pages: A variety of specifically formatted templates associated with assignment choices for each week. Provides ample room to include written summaries, pictures, and drawings.
Generic Templates: A variety of templates students can use for creating their own crosswords, charts, fact sheets, reports, and more.
The Student Notebooks are available for each of the three trails in Trail Guide to U.S. Geography: Elementary (2nd-4th grades), Middle School (5th-7th grades), and High School (8th-12th grades).
Please note: You MUST have Trail Guide to U.S. Geography to make use of the Student Notebook. Answers to the daily Geography Trails questions, instructions for using the curriculum, and the Literature Unit are NOT included in the Student Notebook.
Category Description for Trail Guide to U.S. Geography
Following the same format as Trail Guide to World Geography, this guide offers a variety of options to add a little U.S. geography to your curriculum. The thirty-six weekly lessons in this book cover the fifty states, organized by region. Students study the states at a rate of about two per week. This easy-to-teach book covers essential geographical facts and features of each state. There are three types of assignments: Geography Trails, Points of Interest Mapping and Points of Interest Trail Blazing. Each week contains four days of the Trails, which are questions that the student uses the Desk Atlas of the U.S. to answer. These usually take about 5 minutes to answer. Points of Interest Mapping activities ask the student to draw and label points of interest on an outline map. Trail Blazing assignments require students to research and write about various state-related topics in their state notebook. The book wraps up with a literature unit on the Lewis and Clark expedition, using the book The Captain’s Dog. You will need either Uncle Josh’s Outline Maps or the Notebook; both will include the outline maps needed. Digital download versions are also available.
