Foundations Geography

Classical Conversations' Foundation level students' study six subjects including world history and geography.  Studying world history and geography is achieved by memorizing the same 160 world history events each year, studying one of three different time periods and drawing maps of the area corresponding to the time periods.  For example, this year we are studying Cycle 3 - U.S. History and we are drawing the map of the U.S. with it's states, capitals, major rivers, lakes and mountain ranges labeled.  The students begin by tracing and by the end of the year are drawing their maps free-hand.
