Geography as an Independent Course.
Crampton, Mary; Lanegran, David A.
NASSP Bulletin, v73 n521 p25-30 Dec 1989
Independent high school geography courses are essential because of the subject's pan-scientific nature. Teachers need to develop a set of higher level geography learning objectives and a global perspective in the curriculum, allow adequate time to reinforce these objectives, and teach map-making and analysis. Texts should avoid the "Trivial Pursuit" approach. (MLH)
