CREATIVE GEOGRAPHY Activities That Build 21st-Century Skills

This is definitely not an old-fashioned geography
book with activities like map labeling and rainfall
charts. This is a collection of activities for a new
generation of students who are being trained
to do more than just memorize a group of facts
about a subject or fill out worksheets. They are
being taught to find information from multiple
sources, evaluate it, and apply it in a number
of real-life and creative applications. Some of
the activities can be conducted throughout the
school year, others in one or two hour lessons.
Some are history-based activities that sometimes
include role-playing. Several involve contemporary
problems and issues that students must try to
resolve. This book is for history, geography, and
current events teachers who want their students
to go beyond learning basic geography skills
