What a great idea! I never thought of studying geography by starting by where we live & working out to the world. I love this idea & may just possibly "borrow" it. ;-) Thanks for sharing!
Jodi, you never cease to amaze me with your tremendous planning. Sometimes it seems I can barely figure out what we are doing tomorrow. Great job and it looks so fun!
Borrow away if it looks like an idea you want to use.
I had some very specific ideas in my head, one for world geo and another for a different type of history (probably for the year following our geography year). I finally just had to block it out because I knew what I wanted just couldn't find it anywhere. I will be adding to this. I just wanted to get the basic idea written down, typos and all while I had the chance.
Debbie, I can be very flighty, if I have a basic plan I know when we have deviated from the goal in a major way and can try to work my way back. Kinda like oh yes I had a plan at one point, how did I get here?
Love your geography plans.
