Burley, who teaches middle school social studies, offers lessons to help students in second grade understand the applications of geography in their everyday lives and engage them in the thinking processes that geographers use to analyze information. Meant to develop process skills in geography and enhance geography thinking and habits of mind through hands-on activities, the book contains seven units focusing on different geographic themes (what geographers do, the tools they use, how people move, the definition of a region, where people live, how geographers learn about people, and how countries connect with each other), with lessons and projects related to geography skills like reading and creating maps, graphs, and charts; the examination of primary and secondary sources; and thinking spatially. Each lesson includes a list of resources and materials, the estimated time, objectives, prior knowledge, the instructional sequence, extension activities, and assessment observations.
