if you were to teach an Elementary Geography CoOp what Curriculum/idea would you teach from?

 

It would take about one hour. I would like it to be 15 or so min reading (about a place/Paddle to the Sea/?) then showing the location on a globe, then do a map activity. this group of students will also have an art/craft/nature Class. so I don't need a craft. But what else would we have them do that is hands on? (print a little map and put it in a sheet protector, and let them Form the map with clay/plasticine/playdoh)

 

I imagine almost like having stations after a time together, I am using MOH at our school, for History and I had in mind to teach my children about places we were reading about. without the history I don't know how to implement the Geography. unless I read 36 small books about ancients. sounds too much like Five in a Row. wich this group of children are already doing.

 

ah! help!

Depending on the age of the children, you could:

 

learn a song from the region

learn some words of the language

act out a folktale of the region

eat a food of the region

listen to music from the region

look at and/or reproduce typical art or craft of the region

color pictures of people/places/animals from the region

play a game common among children of the region
