30 lessons. Here is a simple course that introduces and explains basic geographical terms--continent, ocean, lake, city, state, province, and country. Basic surface features are discussed--mountains, hills, deserts, valleys and plains. The purpose and structure of globes and maps are taught. Twelve of the lessons have stories about children around the world. Each story is cast in the setting of a child's surroundings and activites on a March day.

At the back of the pupil's workbook is a section called "New Word Exercises," where the meaning and the use of the new words used in a given lesson are taught by fill-in-the-blank exercises.
