Excerpt from Practical Exercises in Geography, Vol. 1: Our Own Country and Her PossessionsOne of the first things the teacher should endeavor to accomplish is that of teaching pupils how to use their books in working out the problems. Pupils are so accustomed to study geography page by page that they seldom make use of Tables of Contents, Lists of Maps, Charts, and Indexes. Teachers should familiarize pupils of the upper grades with the various tools for study which their textbooks afford. They should test pupils as follows: Is there a Forest Map in your geography? On what page? Consult the list of special maps in the front of your book to learn the page. We shall often need to use this map. Let us remember how to find it. Is there a Railroad Map in your textbook? How can you find it? Etc., etc.Select subjects at random as Hawaii or St. Paul, and drill as follows Find a reference to Hawaii. How can you find the page on which to look? Refer to the index in your book. Where is it? How quickly can you find a reference to any subject?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
