ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Hume, Susan E. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Using Literature To Teach Geography in High Schools. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Traditionally, the high school curriculum has been rigidly compartmentalized. Yet, linkages between disciplines in the curriculum increasingly are being made, such as the connections of English to U.S. History courses in many high schools. Another connection may be English with World Geography courses. Students of every ability level could benefit from exploring the interrelationship between these two disciplines. In this ERIC Digest, the term literature refers to novels, short stories, poetry, plays, and folk tales. It consists of narrative as opposed to expository forms of writing that are found in traditional textbooks, reference books, and news articles. By no means, however, should literature be the sole tool used to teach geography or other subjects of the social studies. Rather, each form of narrative and expository writing has its place in the social studies curriculum.

The Department of Geography at The Univeristy of Oklahoma began with the appointment of a climatologist shortly after World War I, and to this day the department retains a strong interest in the atmosphere. Current faculty includes the director of EVAC, who is an applied climatologist with interests ranging from cloud-seeding to the health effects of heat stress. The director of the Center for Spatial Analysis is a department faculty member who has developed computer-based methods to visualize atmospheric pollution and other temporally varying phenomena. Other faculty in the department use tree rings and speleothems to study paleoclimates in Africa and the Caribbean. Such interests often extend to the study of vegetation change, a subject that has drawn several department faculty members to undertake fieldwork in Africa and Latin America, as well as Oklahoma. http://geography .ou.edu/ Last Modified
