Week 1 -- Schedule



|Notes |

|This is, thus far, the only schedule that the author has provided input for its creation. A special thanks, therefore, goes to Brenda Runkle for not only creating |

|the book, but for her knowledge and expertise in the creation of this schedule. |

| |

|I’m breaking this into two parts. The first part, “World Physical Geography” is based solely on the book and Teacher’s Guide. |

| |

|The second part, “Map work” consists of her suggestions for learning countries. Note that under Map work, the first day is for quizzing the student on their |

|country knowledge thus far. The remaining time is to be used to build on their knowledge. Please not only learn the country’s name and location, but the spelling |

|of it as well. Quizzes covering the map work will occur every Monday. However, if the continent is being tested on all its countries it will be counted as a test.|

| |

|Good, free, outline maps can be found in a variety of places on the web. (Look under “blank outline map”.) Three sites that you may appreciate are: |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |

|Mrs. Runkle suggests an Atlas, preferably the Nystrom Desk Atlas (ISBN 0-7825-0349-7), for use in this course. |

|I just looked it up and you can pick up a new copy at their website for ~$18 (plus shipping/ handling / tax). (ETA: I picked up a copy – it’s worth it, and there |

|are lots of little tidbits there, and each continent has an “issues-today” section for extra thought.) |

| |

|Enrichment activities are included and left up to the instructor to determine how to apply them to your own course. (These will be designated by the exclamation |

|bullet, and will be found in the “Notes” section.) |

| |

|One item that is occasionally done is Map all the ____ in the world (deserts, mountains. . .). Maybe you’d like to do this on transparency paper and overlay them |

|as they are done? Just a thought. |

| |

|Good websites: (Oh, and by the way, I can’t guarantee the “stability” of websites. . .) |

| |

| |

| |

|umm, I guess I listed the rest in the notes of the schedule instead of here like I originally planned to. . . |

|* HA! Caught you off guard with a quiz on the first day of class, didn’t I? This is a “baseline” quiz. It’s to allow both student and instructor a chance to |

|know where you are “coming from” (geographically speaking). Your teacher will supply you with a blank world map. Because this is a baseline quiz (and not graded),|

|I want you to identify and label the following, from your memory. |
