Book Description
Excerpt from Geography and Geology of Minnesota, Vol. 1 The theme of this book is the Geography of Minne sota in its most essential and fundamental aspects. While the principles set forth are world-wide in their ap plication, the illustrations used to enforce them are drawn almost wholly from the features and phenomena of the state. Wherever state lines are ignored and the boundary is crossed it is to secure what seems neces sary to make clear the causes of conditions about us. For instance: almost the whole state presents manifold evidence of the work of glaciers; to show a glacier and its setting as a physical factor, appeal is made to the Yoho valley near the summit of the Albertan Rockies. Figure 29, Chapter VIII, is a picture of the interesting Yoho glacier. As the pupil looks at this picture and, in imagination, sees it expand into an ice stream hundreds of miles long and scarcely less in width, its moraines, in places, looming up hundreds of feet high and its wash filling prairies and plains scores of feet in depth, with identically the same materials as one finds every where throughout the state, there will become clear to the mind conditions well-nigh universal in Minnesota only a few thousand years ago. This book is not written in the style usual in text books of the schools. It is prepared rather to teacents.

Book Description
Minnesota's Changing Geography was first published in 1959.This book is intended to help children understand how the state of Minnesota developed as it did, what it looks like today, and why. The story, pictures, and maps tell of Minnesota's changing geography, but the subject embraces a good deal that lies beyond the boundaries of one state. The settlement of the land, its industry and commerce, its climate - these and other parts of the story give young readers perspective to see Minnesota as part of the larger community of the nation and the world. By showing how the land and its use have changed, the book also helps children to realize that their environment is not static, but constantly changing.In each section of the book, the author describes the characteristic features of a major region or settlement of the state. He shows why the dairy region, the corn belt, the timber country, the mining range, and other important economic areas developed in their distinctive ways. He describes the various kinds of settlements to be seen in the state - farm-trade villages, towns, cities, and suburbs. He traces the networks of transportation - rail routes, waterways, truck routes, pipelines, airways, and city traffic. Finally, he explains the elements of local, state, and federal government.A series of tables at the back of the book provides statistics on Minnesota's population, county by county, on area, temperature, and rainfall, and significant dates in the state's history.For children in the classroom, in the library, or at home, here is Minnesota in its physical, real-life sense, presented as a part of a large and changing world. Readable, authentic, up-to-date, the book was prepared with the help of consultants from the Minneapolis public schools.
Exploring Minnesota Through Project-Based Learning
Author: Carole MarshPublisher: Gallopade International

Book Description
Exploring Minnesota through Project-Based Leaning includes 50 well-thought-out projects designed for grades 3-5. In assigning your students projects that dig into MinnesotaÕs geography, history, government, economy, current events, and famous people, you will deepen their appreciation and understanding of Minnesota while simultaneously improving their analytical skills and ability to recognize patterns and big-picture themes. Project-based learning today is much different than the craft-heavy classroom activities popular in the past. Inquiry, planning, research, collaboration, and analysis are key components of project-based learning activities today. However, that doesnÕt mean creativity, individual expression, and fun are out. They definitely arenÕt! Each project is designed to help students gain important knowledge and skills that are derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subject areas. Students are asked to analyze and solve problems, to gather and interpret data, to develop and evaluate solutions, to support their answers with evidence, to think critically in a sustained way, and to use their newfound knowledge to formulate new questions worthy of exploring. While some projects are more complex and take longer than others, they all are set up in the same structure. Each begins with the central project-driving questions, proceeds through research and supportive questions, has the student choose a presentation option, and ends with a broader-view inquiry. Rubrics for reflection and assessments are included, too. This consistent framework will make it easier for you assign projects and for your students to follow along and consistently meet expectations. Encourage your students to take charge of their projects as much as possible. As a teacher, you can act as a facilitator and guide. The projects are structured such that students can often work through the process on their own or through cooperation with their classmates.
