Going Beyond Maps and Globes:
​Exploring Children’s Literature Using the Five Geographic  Themes

​This article (with its accompanying pullout) focuses specifically on ways to use the concepts and relationships articulated
in the five fundamental themes of geography (location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and regions) to add
depth to children’s experiences in reading and writing. Embedded within these themes are specific vocabulary, concepts, and
skills that are helpful for students to learn; but these themes also reveal a rich web of relationships between geography and life
that can support students in making meaning, whether considering a fictional world or our real world.
