  • Ebbesmeyer, a retired teacher now at Missouri Baptist U., explains how to teach world geography using mnemonics. Her additional aims are to help teachers educate students about cultural differences, global facts, using critical and creative thinking, and to strengthen reading. Chapters are organized by continent and connected to the US National Geography Standards. They include annotated lists of picture and chapter books, maps, sample activities and reproducible worksheets, and stories linking mnemonics.

Description: Have you ever wanted to think of a way for your students to remember world capitals or the rivers in a certain region? Ebbesmeyer's book, Teaching Global Literacy Using Mnemonics, will help you do that and teach the national geography standards as well The book is divided into sections by continents. Each section has a short introduction, suggested annotated reading lists of picture and chapter books to motivate student interest in that geographic area and a mnemonic sentence, rhyme, or story that will help students remember the makeup of the country or continent discussed. The mnemonics differ from the usual, in that they are directly connected to the region, people, or culture being studied. There is a simple map of the region and activities tied to the national standards for geography. Activities focus on ideas to integrate global studies with all other areas of the curriculum and on ways to motivate teachers and students to extend the lessons and create their own ideas.
About the Author: Joan Ebbesmeyer is a retired teacher, now Adjunct Professor at Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis, a storyteller, and a former Teacher Idea Press author (Literature Lures, 2002).
