Description
This CD-ROM, 2nd edition,is an invaluable tool to help students put together the geography student notebooks recommended in the Trail Guide to U.S. Geography. While it's definitely possible to build a student notebook using the information included in the Trail Guide to U.S. Geography alone, the CD-ROM provides guidance and minimizes the work. It includes hundreds of printable PDF pages with questions from the book, outline maps, templates, and more. This CD includes the reproducibles for the Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary levels. Note: you need the text book to make use of this; answers to the questions and directions are not included. In addition, the 2nd edition of notebook works only with 2nd edition of the Trail Guide. Win/Mac compatible, requires Acrobat Reader version 5 or higher (included). ~ Rachel
Category Description for Trail Guide to U.S. Geography
Following the same great format as Trail Guide to World Geography, this book focuses on U.S. Geography. The thirty-six weekly lessons in this book cover the fifty states, organized by region. Students study the states at a rate of about two per week. This easy-to-teach book covers essential geographical facts and features of each state. This trail guide includes 5-minute daily drills, mapping, building a geography notebook--using the optional student notebook--and a wide variety of additional projects with research and discovery. The literature unit in this book focuses on the Lewis and Clark expedition, using the book The Captain's Dog, by Roland Smith. Heavily used resources include Uncle Josh's Outline Map Book or maps available in the Student Notebook download. Other resources are also recommended to help enhance the study. In this edition, all students use the Desk Atlas of the United States. A Geographical Terms Chart is recommended with these and all Trail Guide studies. We do not offer the chart that is recommended; however, it is available through Geography Matters. This is the 2015 update. ~ Rachel S./Rebecca G.

Why did you choose this?
homeschool purposes
I purchase the teacher manual used, and needed the cd to help create the student notebook
This is a must have when doing this U.S. Geography course as far as I am concerned! Just make sure you not only have the teachers book but the recommended atlas as well!
