Student activities are cooperative and utilize reading skills, map reading, and investigative abilities. Students will practice skills as they learn the content needed for any Geography or History course.

Designed for a Geography course as the first unit, but great for the introduction or review of Geography or any History class. Used in grades 6-9, but easily modified for any middle to high school level. Very multiple intelligences and varied in activities and skill levels.
