Geography Action!


This fall, teachers are invited to bring the diverse cultures and environments of the Americas to their students with a free assortment of resources, maps and hands-on activities available at the Geography Action! Web site. Educators can start planning their own celebrations with a themed toolkit and lesson plans for grades K-12, designed to educate and excite students about the natural, cultural and historic treasures of North America.
