Excerpt from The Reproduction of Geographical Forms: I, Sand-and Clay-Modelling With Respect to Geographical Forms, II, Map-Drawing and Map-Projection
IT is hardly an exaggeration to say that the average child learns more of the science of geography in his rambles out of doors, before beginning the study in his school course, than he learns from the text-book after his school work in that study begins. The reason is that, in the one case he reads geography in nature, in the other from the printed page. No matter how well and how faithfully the teaching may be done, the disadvantages arising from the use of words and sentences instead of things in nature, are too great to be easily swept away. Within a few years the importance of this fact has been so widely recognized by primary teachers that, in a majority of schools, text-book work has been largely abandoned in primary grades, and oral lessons, aided by the moulding-board and the study of natural forms, have very properly taken its place.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of sand and clay modeling in geography education, particularly in relation to teaching the three main elements of physical geography - form, size, and locality. The author provides a complete outline for oral geography lessons that can be used in primary and intermediate classes, and supplements this with helpful tips for out-of-door lessons. The book also goes into depth on the value of pictures and models to the study of geography, and provides a substantial list of specific types of geographic features, and where to find illustrations and photographs to supplement the curriculum. The result is a comprehensive guide to the subject that will not only help teachers to effectively teach geography to their students, but will also engage the students and make the lessons more exciting.
