Trick Geography: Europe–Teacher Guide: Making things what they’re not so you remember what they are.

“I can’t believe how much I just learned!” That was one mom’s response after observing a single class session of Trick Geography. Trick Geography: Europe–Teacher Guide (Student Book sold separately) is a simple, yet powerful geography curriculum which routinely moves students from geographic illiteracy to command of European countries, their shapes and capitals, and major bodies of water, mountains, and deserts in about 7 weeks. And all with pleasure and high retention!How does it work? Croatia looks like a crow, so we trace the dotted outline of a crow drawn inside the country’s border. The capital is Zagreb, so we circle a grub (Zagreb) in the crow’s (Croatia) beak. It’s THAT easy!Physical features are taught using simple connections. “There’s barking (Balkan Mountains) in the bulldog area (Bulgaria).” Delightful graphics, phonetic connectors, dot-to-dots, and fill-in-the-blanks facilitate multiple learning styles and make the process more like a game than a curriculum. Trick Geography is easy enough for elementary students yet sophisticated enough for the high schooler and adult. It is ideal for home or school settings. Teachers appreciate the simple instructions which require virtually no prep time or learning curve and which give students the option of going through the program on their own. Evaluation is a cinch with matching tests which are included. Recommended for ages 8 to adult. 63 pages. (The Trick Geography: USA and World editions are also available.) www.TrickGeography.com
