Development; *Problem Solving; Reflective Teaching; Thinking Skills ABSTRACT This teacher's guide is to enable the teacher to promote thinking through the use of geography. The book lays out the rationale in learning theory for an issues-based, question-driven inquiry method and proceeds through a simple model of progression from identifying key questions to developing generalizations. Students study issues of geographic significance by pursuing answers to geographic questions, in the process developing meanings and understandings, skills, and personal perspectives, values and attitudes. There is a high value on active learning and higher-level thinking in the materials. Each chapter contains several classroom activities for student decision-making and analysis. The chapters include the following:(1) "Identifying Key Questions To Plan Learning Activities";(2) "Planning Learning Activities To Reach Generalizations and Decisions";(3) "Reaching Generalizations and Decisions through Processing and Interpreting Data";(4) "Interpreting and Analyzing Attitudes and Values; and (5) "Learning through Geography. Extensive maps, charts and figures accompany the text. Contains 75 references.

    Bee Round 2 Bee Round 2 Regulation Questions

    Canadian International Geography Bee 2016-2017 Bee Round 2 Bee Round 2 Regulation Questions (1) Workers in this industry were infamously forced by Carlos Fitzcarrald to dismantle a steamship and transport it over a mountain. According to the anthropologist Michael Taussig, this industry's Arana brothers created a \space of death" around the Putumayo River by exploiting indigenous workers outside the isolated city of Iquitos. Tycoons from this industry founded the \Paris of the Tropics," the isolated city of Manaus. In the early 1900s, Roger Casement exposed its exploitative labor practices in both the Amazon and the Congo. For the point, name this industry that harvested latex from trees in the rainforest. ANSWER: natural rubber industry (2) A dream of creating this structure was the subject of the poem \Swimming" by a leader who opted to create a similar structure at Gezhouba first. John Savage's final land survey planned this structure, whose construction destroyed the wetland homes of the Siberian crane, drove the baiji dolphin to extinction, and displaced 1.3 million people. This structure overtook the Itaipu Dam as the world's largest power station when it was completed in Hubei province in 2012. For the point, name this large dam on the Yangtze River. ANSWER: Three Gorges Dam (3) This seaport was the starting point of a colonial railway that was completed by Indian migrant laborers in 1901 and was later nicknamed the \Lunatic Express" for its exorbitant cost. Portugal lost this city's Fort Jesus to an Omani expeditionary force following a three year siege in 1698.

    THE NETHERLANDS the Netherlands Is One of the Benelux Countries Commonly Referred to As the Low Countries

    THE NETHERLANDS The Netherlands is one of the Benelux countries commonly referred to as the Low Countries. This is because they lie at a low altitude in relation to the sea level. Netherlands is found in the Northern part of the Rhine lands and is sometimes called Holland. Netherlands is bordered by the following countries: In the west by Belgium, east by Germany, north and Northeast by the North Sea. Rivers mainly design Netherlands landscape for example River Rhine and others like Ijssel (Yssel) in the north, Meuse and Scheldt in the south. The Netherlands is where the Rhine enters the North Sea forming an enormous delta. Netherlands lies between 510N – 540N. It has most of its land reclaimed from the sea that is man has been able to make use of the land through reclamation. Amsterdam is the capital city. Factors that have been responsible for the make-up of Netherland’s relief • Ice sheets: these led to glacial deposition of moraine, silt, sand and boulder clay as the ice advanced. • River action: deposition by the major rivers for example River Rhine where the silts and the clays carried by the rivers were deposited on top of the glacial sands. River action also led to the formation of the delta at the coast like the Rhine delta. • Inundation by the sea: as a result of flooding, much of the west and the north were affected because they lie below the high tidal level. Flooding of the sea leads to deposition of marine clays and sands. This explains why there are so many sand dunes along the coast of the North Sea.
