Sense of Place: Geography: Unit Overview

This unit is all about geography, and many PYP programs have this unit in one form or another.  Fortunately, it’s a terrific one for library lesson integration.  Start with atlases, either a review of skills or teaching new skills.  Follow that up with a geography game that will leave them in awe, then have the children get creative and make their own travel books.  Wrap it all up with a summative imaginary holiday trip.  Using atlases and writing about places has never been more fun than in this skill-packed geography unit.
