  • Geography Copywork
    A Child’s Geography: Explore the Holy Land Geography Copywork Notes: • Most of the following selections are directly from A Child’s Geography. However, a sufficient number of selections are offered to allow each child some choice of copywork passages. Please, do not expect that children will necessarily copy every single one of the selections below! Perhaps assign geography copywork only once a week. Do what works best for you and your geographers! • Sections which are not taken from A Child’s Geography are prefixed by two asterisks. • Unless otherwise stated, all scripture verses are quoted here in the King James Version. Introduction Why I knew a macaw once who could say `Good morning!' in seven different ways without once opening his mouth. He could talk every language—and Greek. An old professor with a gray beard bought him. But he didn't stay. He said the old man didn't talk Greek right, and he couldn't stand listening to him teach the language wrong. I often wonder what's become of him. That bird knew more geography than people will ever know.—PEOPLE, Golly! I suppose if people ever learn to fly—like any common hedge-sparrow—we shall never hear the end of it!" ** The Story of Dr. Dolittle Hugh Lofting (1886-1947) Nature was here a series of wonders, and a fund of delight. **Daniel Boone American Explorer (1734-1820) 1 A Child’s Geography: Explore the Holy Land Directions to Eden, Please?
