Editorial Reviews

Based on the idea that exposure to interesting fiction in a seemingly dry subject area will spur a student's curiosity, this volume provides middle-grade level teachers with plot summaries, discussion starters, and activities relating to fictional works that will segue into appropriate lessons on the subject of regions of the world and weather.
