Mapping Europe: A Curriculum Unit Grades Six to Ten.
Stanford Univ., CA. Stanford Program on International and Cross Cultural Education.
This curriculum unit teaches students about the basic physical and political geography of Europe and introduces or reviews fundamental geographical concepts and vocabulary in a European context. The unit offers a geographic introduction to the changing map of Europe. Each of the unit's five lessons can be integrated into the curriculum where it best suits students' needs, but it is suggested that the unit be taught as a whole. The lessons are: (1) "Getting Oriented to Globes and Maps"; (2) "Countries of Europe"; (3) "The Changing Face of Europe"; (4) "Learning the Physiographic Features of Europe"; and (5) "European Climate." Transparencies, student handouts, and appendices containing conversion tables and a data bank are included. (EH)
