teaching Geography Using Literature in K-University Classrooms

Students read one of the following books: Minn of the Mississippi, Paddle-to-the-Sea, or Seabird, all by Holling C. Holling, and identify the five themes of geography as well as make a literature journal with chapter field notes. They research the National Geographic Society magazine and find an article about the region in the book. They write a one-page essay comparing information from the NGS article and the book.
