Teaching The New Geography PDF Download

Excerpt from Teaching the New Geography This manual has been prepared as a direct help to teachers of geography in elementary schools. The educational ideals that have guided the authors are outlined; the plan of the two-book series is presented; the regional treatment of geography for the last two years of study is explained; the project and problem methods of work are fully illustrated, several problems are worked out in detail, and numerous projects are suggested. The new and progressive system of maps in Book Two is described and the plan for picture studies is explained. The keys to the Problems and Review Questions and to the Map Studies, with accompanying teaching helps, will give to teachers direct aid in the preparation of every lesson in Book Two. The treatment of geography in Book One is for young children and is therefore very simple. In Book Two the pupils are introduced to a more advanced study of geography. A new plan of work is followed, new maps are presented, and little by little the students acquire a scientific view of the subject. Book Two contains a large amount of useful information in maps, pictures, text, and Appendix and is, therefore, not a mere textbook but a reference book, rich in geographical information which may be used in working out problems and projects. Teachers who desire help from the authors in addition to what is given in this manual are invited to address their inquiries to the Boston office of the publishers.
