About this title

Synopsis

“I can’t believe how much I just learned!” That was one mom’s response after observing a single class session of Trick Geography. Trick Geography: The Americas and Oceania--Teacher Guide (Student Book sold separately) is a simple, yet powerful geography curriculum which routinely moves students from geographic illiteracy to command of North and South American and Oceanic countries, their shapes and capitals, and major bodies of water, mountains, and deserts in about 10 weeks. And all with pleasure and high retention!How does it work? Peru looks like a cat that purrs, so we trace the dotted outline of a cat drawn inside the country's border. The capital is Lima, so we circle a lima bean (Lima) in the mouth of the cat that purrs (Peru). It's THAT easy!Physical features are taught using simple connections. "A cat that purrs (Peru) is a content kitty cat (Lake Titicaca)." Delightful graphics, phonetic connectors, dot-to-dots, and fill-in-the-blanks facilitate multiple learning styles and make the process more like a game than a curriculum. Trick Geography is easy enough for elementary students yet sophisticated enough for the high schooler and adult. It is ideal for home or school settings. Teachers appreciate the simple instructions which require virtually no prep time or learning curve and which give students the option of going through the program on their own. Evaluation is a cinch with matching tests which are included. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. 98 pages. (The Trick Geography: USA and World editions are also available.) www.TrickGeography.com
