Solutions

Dictionary

Welcome to Bilingual Geography. You will find information sheets for teachers, worksheets for your students, worksheets for quizzes and cards, etc. There is a dictionary at the end of the book, as well as solutions to the worksheets.

This book is based on the Core Curriculum and you will find in it the information the children need to know in their first year of geography. Most of the worksheets are graded. You will therefore be able to individualise your lessons, giving out simple or more advanced worksheets to your students and/or making your own worksheets with the information provided. These can also be copied on overhead foil.

Everyone teaches in their own particular style and we would just like to give you some ideas that we have found useful in our own situations. A bi-lingual vocabulary book can be a useful item for students to have.

Another idea is to have this at the end of their geography notebook – although this is more temporary as they are constantly filling up their notebooks and having to acquire new ones. Vocabulary is important and necessary. Geography is especially good for anchoring new words and repetition. The first year is great for this – especially with map use. Phrases like “Eisenstadt is the capital of Burgenland” and “the Atlantic Ocean is between Europe“and America” are good ways to repeat phrases many times and give the children lots of confidence. Making posters for your class about capital cities in English is always a very nice activity and posters in the classroom certainly anchor the English presence in the room. The section at the end includes an empty quiz chart. We have used this constantly to revise the children’s knowledge in a fun way. Asking each child one question per lesson/week, for example, doesn’t take up much time and can be a valuable revision guide for the whole class.
