Overview

"Where in the World? Geography Series United States & Capitals Plus Physical Features (Book 1 of 2*) Historical, Cultural, and Geographical Teaching & Student Resource (*Created as a companion book to the student worksheet book (by the same name) ""Where in the World? United States & Capitals PLUS Physical Features!"" 24 Lessons Full Color, beautiful photography throughout! Geography serves as a launchpad to a deep understanding of the world in which we live. In this book, our students learn where different states are and the capitals that govern them. Alongside this, students learn the history that shaped our country since the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies. How many other nations fought and died over this land that America prevailed in governing. They learn about landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court and the bravery of some to dream and inspire others to change hearts towards fairness and unity. Students will look at the plight of the Native Americans and how they lived, and their journey after Europeans came to this land. Throughout the book, ecology will be taught through topography, plants, animals, and man's influence over the earth, for good or ill. It is fantastic information that, as educators, we have the unique and awesome responsibility to make it come alive for our student's sake. The classical method in learning has so much to do with repetition, intensity, and duration. However, this process doesn't have to be daunting or terrible for our students. We can walk through learning together, discovering together, have fun imagining what it would be like to be there, and experience that together! My heart's desire is that, within this book, you will find the right tools for your classroom or family to launch into a remarkable discovery of the United States. And hopefully, stepping through this method with a bit of creativity and discussion will make the geography come alive! And in the end, if they have the locations memorized, bonus! But first and foremost, have fun with discovery! Subjects within the book are repeated many times over, such as the Louisiana Purchase, Reconstruction of the Southern States after the Civil War, and various wars. This is an opportunity as an educator to teach these historical events over and over from a state and physical entity perspective. If you find that your child reports that they ""already know this"" then it is optimal to utilize this as a catalyst for oral quizzes as you go through the text as well as dialectic conversation."

Wow! This book is amazing. I have struggled with the best way to help my children learn the geography for CC. I decided to try and focus more on it this year, and this book is proving to be a huge help with that. It is very well done. Definitely worth every penny. - A. Steelman, Classical Conversations Homeschool Mom Where in the World Geography was just what we needed to include for the geography lessons in our Morning Time Plans. The lessons are thorough and easy-to-implement for moms, making this an easy way for families to learn their geography memory work. -Pam Barnhill of Homeschool Solutions We used Mrs. Predmore's Geography material five years during our daughter's elementary years. We still keep it current for quick review and memory prompts. Where In The World is a staple in our homeschool library of resources. -Carolyn, Homeschool Mom This item arrived and it is beautiful. We have enjoyed using it as a companion to our CLassical Conversations Memory Work. My children love having me read the additional information listed for each week, and they are excited to see the beautiful photos that are included on some pages. It took a little bit for me to understand the organization of the book, and I have found it best to use paper clips to easily find my way between new information and the review sections. -Brooke, Homeschool Mom

Author Information

"Although Amanda Predmore's background was in strategic analysis of brand approach and implementation through visual communications - that all changed in 2010 when she gave birth to triplets. In 2014 she began the exciting, yet daunting exploration of homeschooling her three budding babies. She loved the basis of Classical Education and began putting materials together that she found to be lacking or simply missing from the homeschool curriculum landscape for her own family. Because Classically based education has a strong foundation in grammar memorization, she set out to create an adept geography guide that concentrated on the fundamentals of geography grammar that could be taught to her own children not only once, but all the way through the grammar stage. So this had to work for various ages! And the ""Where in the World?"" Geography Series was born. She is child of the one true Lord, Jesus Christ. Wife to a handsome handy guy named Jacob and mother of two crazy fun boys, Ethan and Elijah, as well as a beautiful and gentle girl named Isabella. She enjoys exploration in healthful cooking, going for walks and bike rides in the beautiful Northwest where she resides, watercolor painting, and photography."
