My Top 5 Resources for Teaching Geography Skills
By Keith Heggart

Content: If you’ve ever read a book and wanted to map out the journey that the protagonists take, then you’re going to love Google Lit Trips. From The Grapes of Wrath to The Odyssey to hundreds more (helpfully broken down into age appropriate sections), students can follow in the footsteps of the people in the stories, looking at the environments and places that they visited. 5. Map your memories
This one is a little more whimsical than others. Becky Cooper asked 75 New Yorkers to share their memories by marking important places on maps. It is an idea that has captured the imagination of the world - now people are doing it in cities like London and Istanbul. I think that it’s a wonderful example of the way that places can be linked to personal experiences. Buy the book, marvel at the stories, and then get your students to do the same! Ideas about using these resources came from discussions with my tutorial groups, and also from a lecture given by Kaylene Kritharides about Teaching Geography in the Primary Classroom. I appreciate their generosity in sharing their ideas.
