Geography - Good - West - You Teach
Details
This is what we deem the "Good" option for Geography in 5th Grade. This option utilizes the "You Teach" method, which is a term we have coined for traditional, parent-taught homeschooling.
Following the introductory year geography studies are broken up into four courses: north, south, east and west. They can be done in any order. Our recommendation is based on opportunity to integrate them with history. Geography – West includes the study of continents and oceans, South America, Central America, and North America. This course fits well with the Explorers to 1815 Veritas history course. Children will join Mr. Latitude and Mr. Longitude, who travel west with the famous lumberjack Paul Bunyan. Their adventures include visiting El Dorado, Atlantis, and New York. They even catch up with the mysterious Bigfoot.
