This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions on Teaching Geography in the Schools of Mississippi I. Food. Necessity for it, production, exchange, transportation, climatic influence, etc. Begin by asking each pupil separately to name one article of food he had for dinner; then other things he eats. Let them name all the foods they know; then ask to have a list written ready for the next lesson. Second Lesson. Have several lists read, and let each child add to his list the foods he forgot to name. Then ask which grew in the ground and which came from animals. Make the list over under the heads of vegetable and animal. Salt, water, etc., may be placed under minerals after telling them that they belong to neither of the other classes. The new list may be neatly prepared for the third lesson. Then the discussion is about which articles are produced at home and which are bought, it the school is in the country. If there are no home products, then lead them to find out which are grown nearby and which come from a distance. The last will cause them to study the green grocers, the meat markets, the fruit stands, the grocery store, and will furnish material for a good bit of work and several lessons, involving a mention of transportation and different climates - the wheat from the North and the bananas from the Hot Belt. No more than a mention, however - the study comes later. The country school has a tremendous opportunity here for study ing the products firsthand. The pupil can get most of his informa tion from observation with only suggestions from his teacher. He can group his products as fruits, berries, vegetables, cereals, meats, etc and the foreign grown product can be treated as suggested for the town.

Download or read book Suggestions to Teachers of Geography Classic Reprint written by Carl L. Garrison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions to Teachers of Geography Children should very early be made to realize that the text-book contains valuable informa tion, and they should be taught how to get that information from its pages. After any lesson has been given orally, and certain important facts in it have been summed up by the children and particularly dwelt on, then, on the next day for instance, the teacher should use the book and have the lesson read, stopping after each paragraph to question for the particular thought or thoughts contained in it. Then at the end of the reading lesson she should have a number of children tell, each in his own words, the gist of the whole lesson but find no fault if the pupils use the words of the text, provided the sense of the matter is manifestly understood. With pupils who are just beginning the use of a text-book the teacher will do well to study each lesson from the text-book in this way instead of assigning lessons to be learned by them. Help of this kind is much more likely to lead young children to right methods of study than is any amount of learning a lesson by heart or of poring over it by themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography: Suggestions Regarding Principles and Methods for the Use of Teachers For some years past there has been a growing recog nition of the extremely unsatisfactory position of Geography in the general educational system of this country. Various suggestions and efforts have been made to place the subject on a better footing. But reform in such matters is necessarily Slow. Inveterate habits of use and wont are apt to blind us to the need for change, and any attempt to alter the existing sys tem touches many different kinds of vested interests. Even those who sympathise with the proposals for reform raise their hands in despair, and ask where, amid the crowd of subjects now demanded, room is to be found for any new topic, or for any expansion of an old one. I fully recognise the gravity of these difficulties, and am by no means sanguine that they are all likely soon to be cleared away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography To all students of geography it is a lamentable fact that there is even yet a lack of respect for this branch of science. Though we have a new geography rich and vital in its possibilities to contribute to twentieth century education, yet all too many teachers are oblivious of the significance and value of the subject and, in the schoolroom, are rattling the dry bones of formal statement and definition. Their view of the subject, and their method of teaching it, restricts its value and curtails the interest which it ought to enlist from pupils. The object of this volume is, first of all, to present and instill in the minds of teachers the true nature of modern geography. Therefore Part I is devoted to the Nature and Scope of Geography. It is hoped that its careful study will result in establishing a correct and broad view of a subject whose content is rich in edu cative possibilities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography, in Elementary Schools In the teaching of geography, as in instruction of every kind, the fundamental condition for success is that the teacher has so thoroughly mastered the subject himself, and takes so much real interest in it, that he can speak to his pupils about it, not in the set phrases of a class book, but out of the fullness of his own knowledge, being quick to draw his most effective illustrations from the daily experience of those to whom he addresses himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions on Teaching Geography The most of these chapters have appeared in The Public-School Journal from time to time. Some friends have thought them worthy of being put in a more convenient form, so here they are. As the title implies, they are simply intended to be suggestive in their character. No book is of very high value unless it suggests better things to the user than it contains. It is believed that this little book will do so, and that it will therefore be helpful to teachers and pupils. The attention of teachers and of those fitting themselves to be teachers is called especially to the introductory chapters. They may not approve of all that is said; but as honest students they will seek after the truth for its own sake, and these chapters may guide them in the way that leads to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oswego Normal Method of Teaching Geography: Prepared for the Practice Department of the Oswego State Normal and Training School of Oswego, N. Y Geography, at best, is a very complex subject. It includes the earth and all that pertains to it, as well as something of its relations to other planets. The subject is practically inexhaustible. It is the study of a lifetime. It begins with the child when he first enters the world, and only ends with him when he takes his exit from it. The question with the teacher is, how much of this study belongs to the life in the school. To what extent is he responsible for giving direction to this study. It would seem sufficient to demand that he lay good foundations, and get the pupil started in the right direction. If this is a correct premise, then the first duty by the way of laying the foundation is to lead the child to properly observe everything in nature about him, - the air, the water, the sky, the clouds, the temperature, the animals, the plants, the rocks, the soil, the hills, the valleys, the streams, the habitations, the occupations, - in short all that pertains to that part of the earth which he knows, and its environments. He must also become master of the necessary terms with which to express the ideas gained by his observations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography for Children: Or a Short and Easy Method of Teaching and Learning Geography Children should have a Map of their own Na tion, and study that before any other. And in order to their more speedy improvement, the master should assist his pupil in finding out upon the map the particular place of which his lesson treats, and at a future time examine him as to his recollection of what he has leafned, in order to fix his atten tion, and that he may retain the facts. It is highly necessary that the different parts of each of these maps should be distinguished by different colours, or at least by points or lines. To render the scholar acquainted with the meaning of geographical terms, two Prints are given, which likewise serve to assist the teacher in explaining them to his p ils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Geography: On the Plan of Object Teaching The plan of this little work is such, that the subject is presented in the most simple form. It treats of general features, such as the locality and description of Continents, Countries, States, Rivers, Mountains, &c., without dwelling prematurely upon details which embarrass the learner in his first effort. The Maps are free from all meridians, parallels of latitude, and any superabundance of names; thereby giving a greater prominence to the general divisions of land and water. The plan of Object Teaching, by which the mind receives impressions through the medium of the eye, is here so combined with the Map Exercises, that a child just able to read is at once interested and instructed.
