Teaching Geography

What is geography? Geography is an area of science that studies land forms, features, the inhabitants of a region, and Earth. Geography is very important for students to understand and be taught. It is important because students need to understand what is going on in different countries in the world as well as where these countries are located. By teaching geography, the students will become better citizens who better understand the events occurring in the world and the significant impact it has on the earth.

 Geography can be incorporated into several different subject areas. When teaching literature, it is very easy to have students locate where this book is taking place on a map. Throughout the year, you can also assign a book to each student to complete a research project on. The students will read the book, find the location on a map,and then complete research about the author and the location. The students may present this to the class as a final project.
