Nearly all the writing in the Geography Notebook is done by the student. These pre-formatted pages provide the perfect place for students to record what they are learning. You can match the Student Notebook page with the project we formatted the page with by scanning the assignments under the Trail Blazing heading in the Trail Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example in the \u003cem\u003eTrail Guide to U.S. Geography\u003c\/em\u003e Week 1 (page 22 in the Teacher's Manual) the assignment reads, \"Study the Plymouth Plantation and learn about the trials faced by the Pilgrims there.

Some may only have time for students to do 1 Trail Blazing assignment, on the other hand others may set aside an hour a day for geography and have time for 3 or 4 Trail Blazing projects each week. Some students want to dwell longer than a week on an area or want to learn more. When that happens you have numerous other assignments from which to choose to take advantage of those teaching moments or student zeal.

Each week you or your student will select which of the Trail Blazing assignments to complete. The Student Notebook files include a notebook page for two assignments in each level for each week from the Trail Blazing section. In addition there are a number of generic notebook pages in the Appendix.

Both include printable PDF files that your computer reads using Acrobat reader. The Digital Download is immediately available upon the payment of your purchase, and incurs no shipping fee. You can save the Digital Download to your computer and burn a disk of it for a permanent copy if you prefer. Other than convenience, there is no difference.

The notebook will contain all the maps needed for the \u003cem\u003eTrail Guide\u003c\/em\u003e you are using. However the Uncle Josh's Outline Map Book or CD is a great tool to have in your own personal library.
