"Exemplars in Geographical Thinking is intended for middle school and secondary teachers who want to engage their students in critical inquiry. This resource provides sample lessons grounded in specific geographical issues but adaptable for a wide range of topics across the curriculum. Each lesson exemplifies one of six interrelated concepts central to geographic thinking: spatial significance, evidence and interpretation, patterns and trends, interrelationships, geographical perspective, and ethical judgment."-- Provided by publisher.

Spatial significance: What's hidden in a map? -- Evidence and interpretation: Has the media convinced me? What do the numbers tell us? -- Patterns and trends: Where's the pattern? -- Interrelationships: What's Canada's greatest natural disaster? -- Geographical perspective: Which image captures the place? -- Ethical judgment: To burn or not to burn? Whose voice needs to be hard?
