GEOGRAPHY

Geography is the study of physical features of Earth and the atmosphere. Geography is important for the students to understand. Students should know how to locate places on a map and understand different countries as well as their cultures. Teaching geography will increase the students knowledge on social studies and the world as a whole. The students need the knowledge of geography. 

This video provides knowledge about geography and course concepts.

Geography can be implemented into many different subjects very easily. In my experience, going down to the armory to read books to children,. The program is called "All Around The World". This program consist of MSMC students coming in to read to children and do an activity. During this activity, as a group we all go up to the map on the poster board and find where the book takes place and pin it. In this example, geography is getting taught through literature in the simplest way. 

In my elementary school, I remember learning the seven continents through a song. My teacher would have us sing the song everyday before class began. The just shows how many ways geography can be implemented into other subjects and how important is it to teach students choreography in a fun and engaging way.
