Description
Based on the belief that geography should be learned chiefly from using maps, young children will have poetry and prose reading lessons in the words of Charlotte Mason herself based on the movement of the Earth, points of the compass and meaning of maps. Originally printed in 1881, this edition is a faithful reproduction in a fresh format. The original language is retained, but with footnotes including updated information for today's readers. The text was written to be read by (or read aloud to) children and has a lyrical quality. Over a dozen charming poems are interspersed which also illustrate concepts; including titles such as How All Things Praise the Lord, Harvest Thanksgiving, Evening and more. There are 41 lessons in all, many are followed by 6-8 comprehension (summary) questions. Lesson topics range from foundational topics such as day and night to parallel lines, to topography, to reading a town map and then a globe (latitude/longitude, continents, oceans, mountains, etc.), and more. Only a few black and white illustrations are scattered throughout. 6x9", 148pp, sc. ~ Sara
Publisher's Description of Elementary Geography
Elementary Geography was originally written by educator Charlotte Mason in the 1880s, yet this beloved book for elementary-aged students still garners attention today. Blue Sky Daisies brings you the same classic book, completely
re-typeset in a pleasing and fresh format. Miss Mason's conversational tone teaches children about their world, from its place in the solar system to their place in its lands. Elementary Geography also includes over a dozen poetry selections throughout the book, chosen by Miss Mason to complement the chapter topics. Discover the planets and Earth's continents, the changing seasons, latitude and longitude, map-making, topographical features such as
mountains and valleys, rivers and straits, and more. Elementary Geography is often paired with Blue Sky Daisies' edition of Home Geography for Primary Grades, by C. C. Long.

Why did you choose this?
Has this text been updated? I've printed the free version of this online but had to make a couple text corrections (such as astronauts having left our world, people have reached the north pole, etc.) With those minor corrections this is a great resource.
No, my copy says we can't leave the earth and other beliefs of the time it was written. I've been reading it to my 8yo and we've had some fun discussions about information changing when new discoveries are made. Much of the content is still relevant though.
I'm preparing for AmblesideOnline homeschooling.
I want to teach my kids the living way of learning things about the world our God created.
I liked the way it could add some depth to our current Africa study.
To keep our exploration of geography simple.
