NEW! World Geography Summer Camp Week 1 — Geography Basics Map Skills
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Geography summer school and camps don't give us enough time to cover all the concepts and topics that need to be covered. Squeezing the curriculum
8 months is difficult; covering it over 6-8 weeks is impossible. There is so much information and so little time. This leaves us as educators with the question of what are the important aspects to cover. Having taught middle school level and high school level geography for 11 years, I have pulled out what I feel is a must!
A working knowledge of geography concepts is helpful in teaching this material. If you do not understand geography or if you have never taught geography before, no problem! Simply, read through the student material so you can help your students understand and complete the included activities. Before presenting it to your students, this will require a little mental preparation; however, this resource will save you 20+ hours of resource prep.
This lesson is composed of the first five days (Week 1).
Day 1: 5 Geography Themes
Day 2: Maps, Graphs & Charts + Follow-up Quiz
(Pie Chart, Bar Graph, Line Graph, Cartogram, Political Map, Physical Map, Climate Map, Learning to read Latitude and Longitude.)
Day 3: Looking at geography through a social, economic, political and cultural lens + Follow-up Quiz
(Understanding the meaning behind social, economic, political and cultural aspects)
Day 4: World Governments & Three Branches of Government+ Follow-up Quiz (Direct Democracy, Constitutional Democracy, Absolute Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, Oligarchy, Communism, Socialism)
Day 5: Types of Economic Industries + Follow-up Quiz
(Four Types of Economy, Pure market economy, a pure command economy, a mixed economy, and a traditional economy, Free Enterprise + Four Industries: primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)
Week 2-8 Coming Soon!

Geography: World Government Types Legislation Structure Large Poster Size
By Geography & Math Made Easy
A zip file reader is needed to open the file.
Includes:
Government legislative structure can be hard to understand and grasp, especially when you are discussing types of government systems around the world. Who makes the laws and who approves the laws? Who is the head of government? What is a unicameral versus a bicameral legislation? This printable graphic show students examples of head of state and head of government such as monarchs, presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors. The bottom explains what the difference is between a unicameral and bicameral legislative body and gives examples of what these law-making bodies may be called around the world, such as Senate, House, Parliament, National Assembly, etc. It is important to understand that a Prime Minister in one country may not have the same roles as a Prime Minister in another country, same as a Monarch may be an absolute Monarch may be Head of Government and Head of State, where as in a country such as England which has a constitutional monarchy, the role of the monarch is only ceremonial.
This graphic is designed to bring clarity to various positions a government can have. When students read that a government has a unicameral legislation, they will understand that it only has one body such as a Parliament that makes and passes laws.
Students must understand that every government within each country may have similarities but is usually structured differently.
