In myWorld Geography the opportunities to actively learn and collaborate with classmates are endless. Active learning inspires students to obtain an enduring understanding of the content they're studying. In addition, students regularly engaged in active learning, develop confidence and self-direction as they move through both team-based and independent work.

Activity-Based Lesson Plan

Activity-Based lesson plans embedded within the Teacher's Edition aim to achieve long-term understanding of Essential Questions for all students through individual and small-group activities. In this chapter on diversity in South America, the lesson plan recommends students divide into groups with one country in mind, read the information presented on Activity Cards, and assess a country’s need for a financial improvement to better the social structure. The lesson ensures students achieve an enduring understanding of the effects of geography and history on a country’s social and economic problems.

Activity Cards

Six cards accompany the activity-based lesson plan and provide students with insight into the most influential factors on life in South America. The cards feature facts, graphs, and trends on healthcare, education, communication, industry, poverty, and deforestation in South America, all of which contribute to the region’s successes and struggles.
