Teaching format
Lessons include a teacher guide, a reading passage, a map or data resource, vocabulary, fill-in practice, a numbered answer bank, a hands-on task, and reflection. CSVs use UTF-8 and the exact Question,Answer schema from the Critical Thinking examples. The Markdown Q&A and companion CSV have the same questions and answers. Answers are stored in <span class="hidden-answer" data-answer="..."></span> elements. The course viewer must reveal these elements; in a plain Markdown viewer, use the CSV as the teacher answer key.
Grades 1-2 emphasize oral explanations, locating features, and simple comparisons. Grades 3-4 add intermediate directions, scale, coordinates, thematic maps, and evidence. Grade 5 develops quantitative map and data skills. Grade 6 applies these skills to geographic decisions and inquiry. The 18-lesson upper-grade extensions can be taught across a year with two weeks per lesson or used as a shorter course; they are not representations of missing publisher books.
Sources and scope
Topic sequencing for Grades 1-3 follows the supplied tables of contents in Evan-Moor's Daily Geography Practice. The supplied Grade 4 volume is a student practice book without the same front contents page; its 36 numbered lesson and map headings establish the sequence. Four optional Grade 1 foundation lessons reflect the four main sections of Beginning Geography. Individual lesson notes identify the alignment and source pages where applicable.
The course uses original explanations, exercises, classroom datasets, and diagrams. It does not reproduce the publisher's worksheets or answer keys. Place examples are selective, not exhaustive. The United States emphasis follows the source books. Fictional route lengths, populations, climate observations, and planning data are labeled and must not be treated as current real-world statistics. The seven-continent, five-ocean model is used consistently.
The existing Geography overview, cover images, and Original folder are separate from this course addition.
