| Abstract | Geography, collaborative learning, and integrated projects and all important parts of education. The purpose of this thesis was to create a curriculum in which geography and the study of Europe was incorporated into other subjects to create a unit of 28 activities to be taught at the fifth or sixth grade level. It is organized into six sections: an introduction to geography, the physical characteristics of Europe, humans and the environment, cultural aspects, research and a conclusion. Each activity in this unit follows a standard format containing the following sections: an introduction, a list of objectives, an estimate of the time required for the activity, and the materials and preparations needed step-by-step procedures, and follow-up activities. Many of the activities also have handouts. |
