Overview

"""I can't believe how much I just learned!"" That was one mom's response after observing a single class session of Trick Geography. Trick Geography: Africa--Teacher Guide (Student Book sold separately) is a simple, yet powerful geography curriculum which routinely moves students from geographic illiteracy to command of African countries, their shapes and capitals, and major bodies of water, mountains, and deserts in about 6 weeks. And all with pleasure and high retention!How does it work? Morocco looks like a maraca, so we trace the dotted outline of a maraca drawn inside the country's border. The capital is Rabat, so we circle a robot (Rabat) shaking the maraca (Morocco). It's THAT easy!Physical features are taught using simple connections. ""Atlas (Atlas Mountains) builds his muscles by lifting the maraca (Morocco)."" Delightful graphics, phonetic connectors, dot-to-dots, and fill-in-the-blanks facilitate multiple learning styles and make the process more like a game than a curriculum. Trick Geography is easy enough for elementary students yet sophisticated enough for the high schooler and adult. It is ideal for home or school settings. Teachers appreciate the simple instructions which require virtually no prep time or learning curve and which give students the option of going through the program on their own. Evaluation is a cinch with matching tests which are included. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. 59 pages. (The Trick Geography: USA and World editions are also available.) www.TrickGeography.com"
