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.
