Description
This book covers a lot of ground - the whole world, in fact! Students will need to do some research to complete the exercises, but when they finish, they will have a good basis for comparison between different areas of the world. The same format is used to cover each of the seven continents. Each section begins with political and topographical maps of the continent. A description of the physical geography of the continent follows, including size, climate, and landforms. Text and worksheets delve into physical features, natural resources, human geography and population, languages, religion, clothing, and unique features of the continent. Reproducible, answers included.

Full Curriculum in one book
We have been using this as a complete world geography curriculum. Information can be done independently by the student if they have computer access. We do about a page a day which is a continent a month and should last an entire school year.

3rd Edition published 2014, with a reprint in 2015. We have really enjoyed this book. We have used it as a complete Geography for my 7th grader. (Internet access is needed if you want the student to be able to work independently)

World Geography for High School. I know the grade level doesn't match but this is basic geography, nothing more. I like it's simplicity for studying the subject. We will use this in conjunction with…
Looks like a simple way to get geography into our school day.
