World Geography Curriculum Guide: Secondary Social Studies. Bulletin 1727.
Nicolosi, Louis J.; And Others
This world geography curriculum guide is designed to help teachers improve the quality of secondary level geography instruction. The guide contains Louisiana's social studies curriculum goals and information about the scope and sequence of the state's social studies program. Part 1 discusses the major geographical concepts of: (1) map and globe skills; (2) physical geography; (3) changing landscapes; (4) natural resources; (5) population; (6) living off the land; and (7) urban studies. Part 2 uses these concepts in units about: (1) Western Europe; (2) Eastern Europe; (3) Anglo America; (4) Latin America; (5) North Africa and the Middle East; (6) Africa south of the Sahara; (7) Asia; (8) the Pacific region; and (9) the Polar regions. One country from each region is featured, and each unit contains generalizations, concept and objectives' statements, along with a general course content outline and suggested student activities. Apppendices include: (1) a 62-item bibliography; (2) a list of foreign countries' embassies and information offices in the United States; (3) charts showing skills for grades K-12 according to whether they constitute a major or shared responsibility of social studies; and (4) a description of course evaluation techniques.
