Abstract | This digest discusses various ways in which literature can be incorporated with world geography to make better connections across the curriculum. Reasons to use a literature-based approach to teach geography include: (1) there is a natural link between geography and literature; (2) the study of literature improves comprehension of geography; and (3) a literature-based approach to geography improves reading comprehension. Suggestions are given for choosing appropriate pieces of literature with a model presented for using John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." (EH) |
