Synopsis
Excerpt from Practical Methods for Teaching Elementary Geography
Descriptive Geography. Descriptive geography deals with land and water, as to Size, form, and loca tion. It is a description of the earth's surface, and is of little value when taught by itself.
Regional Geography. - Regional geography is not a new idea. A great many teachers have used the regional method for years. However, only recently has this method been emphasized. Professor Atwood says of the regional method: It is the goal toward which the best scientific thought and the best pedagogy have been long progressing.
One cannot overestimate the value of the regional geography method where the pupil is to gain a clear and concise working knowledge of maps. It brings to the pupil new ideas, motivating geography study and forming a basis for the socialized recitation. The pupil by the use of this method will be the better able to take up project work, or to solve problems.
Pupils Should be taught not only to read maps but to draw them according to natural regions and to give reasons for so drawing them. They should be able to answer readily such questions as, 1) What things affect climate? (2) What conditions determine rain fall? (3) Why is New England rough and rugged while Kansas and Nebraska are level?
