Massachusetts Geography Ideas Overview: Richard A. Aieta promoted the idea that teachers could join forces to help put together a resource book to teach geography concepts and skills from a Massachusetts basis. Some of his ideas of what to include are listed below. Please add to it. What we are looking for is both student lessons and teacher resources to teach Mass geography. Before this idea was completed, Dick Aieta tragically died. But the work of sharing ideas goes on, as he would have wanted. Send back your ideas online to the Mass.

Waltham, Massachusetts Geography Essentials of Waltham Geography The major geographic features of Waltham are the Charles River and several large hills. The river runs roughly west to east in the south part of the city. Since the dam was built just below the Moody Street bridge, the western half of the river in Waltham is navigable by boat. The largest body of water visible today, the Cambridge Reservoir, was created by the damming of a brook near the west side of Waltham. Hardy Pond, the only "great pond" in the city, is in the northern area. The highest place in Waltham is atop Prospect Hill, on a point named "Boston Rock", from which the city of Boston is visible on a clear day. Bear Hill is west and south of that point. Main Street enters from the west as Rt. 117, and leaves in the east as Rt. 20. Rt. 20, also known as Weston Street, merges in at the point where Rt. 117 ends. South Street connects at this intersection, known as Banks Square. City Hall was built near the intersection of Main Street and Moody Street, which is the main business street of Waltham. Lexington Street begins near City Hall, and continues north into Lexington. Totten Pond Road begins at Lexington, and proceeds west, and its name changes to Winter Street as it circles behind the reservoir. Trapelo road spans the entire city, starting near the northwest corner, and proceeding into Belmont on the east side. Beaver Street runs east from Lexington along the Beaver Brook, and intersects what is now Bentley College.

SEMAGNET (Southeast Massachusetts Geography Network) Presents the Annual GEOGRAPHY FAIR Grades K - 12: You are invited to participate in The 18th Annual Geography Fair Saturday November 20th, 2004 at Bridgewater State College The 2004 theme is: The sounds of culture* This theme allows us to look at the interaction between people and their environment; The sense of place depends on many sensory elements, especially the auditory - natural and human created sounds that define a place. language, music, nature sounds, city sounds, etc. Students are asked to describe and explain places with emphasis on the sounds of that place. This should include maps of where for example certain languages and dialects are spoken, where material for instruments are obtained, etc. All of these features make different places and people so distinctive. And it is this interaction of culture and physical environment that presents us with the mosaic that is our world .

United States Geography in the Early Republic - MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts Towns and Cities: Amesbury Just north of the Merrimack River , in Essex County , at the far north of Massachusetts. Amhurst In Hampshire County, about 7 miles northeast of Northhampton . Birthplace of Silas Wright , prominent member of the Albany Regency in NY from the 1820s to the 1840s. Amhurst College was founded there in 1821 and incorporated in 1825. Andover Small town around 25 miles north of Boston, in western Essex County , where a religiously conservative school was established in reaction against the liberalization of Harvard (which became a Unitarian institution early in the 19th century). Attleborough Located a few miles SE of the NE corner of Rhode Island. Birthplace of Jonathan and Virgil Maxcy Beverly In Essex County , a couple of miles north of Salem Boston It it difficult, and will take quite some time, to do justice to Boston, of course. In the early 1800s, it was the intellectual capital of the U.S. It has one of the finest harbors on the east coast. Originally, it was almost an island, connected to the mainland by "Boston neck", a strip just wide enough for one road (one of the reasons it could hold out so long in its rebellion against the English). Over the years, the neck was widened until it became wider than the "head" attached to it. Part of this filling-in process created the Back Bay. See Whitehill, Boston, A Topographical History

Geographic Resource Center Massachusetts Historical Journal Funded by: Massachusetts Geographic Alliance GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY AND THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM The integration of Geography and History is a key element of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. One cannot achieve a full understanding of history without a sense of place nor understand the essence of place with-out knowledge of how it was shaped over time. Geography is a comprehensive field of knowledge that helps us to identify and analyze the global patterns that shape our lives. When applied to the school curriculum, geography helps to reinforce basic literacy skills and can be integrated into a wide range of subjects including science, foreign languages, and social studies. Many people do not realize how much impact geography has on their everyday lives. It is an essential building block toward understanding world affairs. It is critically important that students understand close relationships between geography and history. THE INSTITUTE The sponsors of the institute are responding to the structure of the Massachusetts Frameworks by offering a unique and exciting five-day summer institute, Hilltowns and Milltowns: Geography and History in the Middle and High School Curriculum. Specifically, the purposes of the institute are to demonstrate:

In this area short, swift rivers such as the Merrimack have long supplied industry with power, and an indented coastline provides many good natural harbors, with Boston a major U.S. port. In the interior rise uplands separated by the rich Connecticut River valley, and farther west lies the Berkshire valley, surrounded by the Berkshire Hills, part of the Taconic Mts. The western streams feed both the Hudson and the Housatonic rivers. The state has a mean altitude of c.500 ft (150 m), and Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires is the highest point (3,491 ft/1,064 m). The climate is variable. Boston is the capital and largest city. Other important cities include
