Adding Maps: Geography Coloring Book for Extreme Environments in Level 1A

My youngest child is finishing up the Extreme Environments studies in Level 1A Year 2. The three main books of this study recommended by Mater Amabilis™ are some of my absolute favorites and it's a little sad to think there won't be another child reading through them for the first time.

I posted plans for the three books long ago when First Son first read these books and have used the same plans almost unchanged for the three other children. I had to change some of the library basket books as our library updated their offerings and retired some older books, but most of the notebook pages stayed the same. It's fun to look back at the differences between the children. First Son would draw elaborate pictures but refuse to write a single word. Second Son, my youngest, would eagerly log on to the computer to get some facts and write them down (usually writing on the back side of a lined piece of paper) but refused to draw any pictures of anything.

One change I did make was adding some assignments in our Geography Coloring Book. It was easy for me to add these because I have assignments for this book in a variety of lessons all the way up to seventh or eighth grade. I would not recommend purchasing it just for these couple of assignments, but you might want to consider adding them if you've already decided to buy the book.

[UPDATE June 2020: I've created a master lesson plan for The Geography Coloring Book for Levels 1A, 2, and 3 which avoids assigning the same maps in different levels as much as possible.]

Term 1: 52 Days by Camel lesson plans - On the first day of the study, color Morocco and Mali on page 37.

Term 2: Jungle Islands lesson plans - On the first day of the study, color Australia, New Zealand, and the Solomon Islands on page 36.

Term 3: By Truck to the North lesson plans - On the first day of the study, color British Columbia (and Vancouver Island), Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, and Beaufort Sea on page 5.
