Hello! Can you share how your family has done geography? We have typically integrated it here and there along with history, but due to where we are in our history cycle, I’d like to spend next school year focusing on world geography alone. My issue is that I have a wide range of ages-including a high schooler. Most geography programs I’ve looked at seem to be focused on youngers or olders. I’m interested in the Visits to… series, which could accommodate the age range-but many of those guides could realistically be done in one year? I don’t want to spend the entire year on one continent.
You could just get the supplemental books for the Visits To… guides, and read one a week (or chapter a week for the longer books).
When we did a full year focusing on World geography and Cultures as a family we did the following:
1. Used Trail Guide to World Geography as our basic spine to organize what order we studied things, basic mapping and assignment ideas, etc.
2. Photojournal books – these we pulled out and read stories from for each continent we visited in our studies: Material World, Hungry Planet, Man Eating Bugs, Children Just Like Me, Children Just Like Me: Celebrations, A School Like Mine, A Life Like Mine.
3. Literature set in each continent – Five in a Row titles, books from Cindy West at Our Journey Westward who shares lists of geography titles.
4. Nonfiction books about some countries in each continent, found on the shelf at my local library.
5. Geography from A to Z and Maps and Globes – two not to be missed picture books.
We also had GeoPuzzles for each continent and the world.
The Halliburton Complete Book of Marvels would be a great supplement to any world geography you choose!
