Extractions: Ask the students to recall that the first settlers traveled on ships to reach the New World and formed colonies along the east coast of what is now the United States. Remind the students that the Atlantic coast also had many bays which made it easy for ships to come close to shore. Ask: What is the definition of a bay? (An inlet of the ocean partly surrounded by land.) Give a map of the New England and Middle Atlantic Colonies to each student. Ask students to name all the colonial cities located on the Atlantic Ocean or a bay (Boston, MA; Plymouth, MA; Baltimore, MD; Williamsburg, VA; Jamestown, VA). Write the name of the city and the colony on the board as students name them. Remind the students that these cities were important in the development of trade because of their closeness to the ocean.
GENIP Politics As Usual. By PETER REES University of delaware The delaware GeographicAlliance, like most other alliances, has followed the national model http://genip.tamu.edu/article7.htm
Extractions: University of Delaware pdf The Experience of the Delaware Geographic Alliance Delaware is a small state, twenty minutes wide and two hours long. The only state that can claim to lie east of the Mason-Dixon line, it is a mix of the Tidewater South and South-East Pennsylvania culture areas. It has a strong rural base, exceeding most states in the proportion of its land under agriculture, yet it is also home to two major auto assembly plants, the chemical industry, and a large financial services center. Its population contains a melding of Protestant and Catholic, and Polish, Italian, African-American, Greek, and Hispanic ethnic groups. In other words, Delaware is very much a microcosm of the country. As such, it is a good place to examine the prospects for educational reform, in particular the growth of geography teaching and learning which is the goal of state geographic alliances across the country. FROM THE BEGINNING When the Delaware Geographic Alliance was formed in 1988 with a planning grant from the National Geographic Society, a geography instruction in Delaware was non-existent, buried as elsewhere in social studies curricula, taught primarily by history-trained teachers. A set of state-level social studies guidelines made occasional mention of maps, but the word "geography" was absent. Instead, the guidelines were dominated by economics, the result of active, energetic, and well-funded and politically connected
