Publisher's Review
Selected by current elementary school teacher Ok Hyo-jin
100 Essential Geography and Culture Concepts for Kids!
What is latitude and longitude? How do you distinguish between a cape and a bay? How are Korea's administrative districts divided? What is the longest country in the world? Geography and culture are concepts we use frequently, yet they can be particularly challenging to explain.
I'm sure I've heard it somewhere, but I can't quite remember it.
《Teacher Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Geography and Culture Concepts》 systematically organizes the geography and culture concepts that children need to know from Chapters 1 to 8.
It explains in detail everything from the principles of interesting maps to geography in daily life, the geography of our country, continents and oceans, countries around the world, climate and life, and the mysterious geography and culture of the world.
What makes this book even more special is that teacher Ok Hyo-jin, who has personally selected 100 essential geography and cultural concepts that she believes elementary school students should know while working with children as a current teacher.
It quickly covers everything from concepts found in social studies textbooks to current issues frequently appearing in the news today, such as 'Dokdo,' 'North Korea,' 'population density,' and 'oil-producing countries.'
Through "Professor Ok Hyo-jin's Dictionary of Geography and Culture," you will be able to thoroughly build your basic social knowledge and even acquire current affairs knowledge.
You will quickly become familiar with the concept through familiar everyday episodes,
Learn essential geography and culture knowledge faster and easier than anyone else with friendly explanations!
Although this book is titled and formatted as a dictionary, I have tried to present a variety of geographical and cultural concepts in a format that is as informal as possible.
First, we will learn about geography and culture concepts in a friendly way through everyday episodes featuring Teacher Ok and the children.
After that, you can immediately understand the concept accurately through the dictionary definition.
The following explanations are in the form of comic panels rather than simple text, allowing you to learn about the concepts in detail without getting bored.
The cute illustrations that appear between the explanations help readers learn the concepts more easily and enjoyably.
Lastly, if you read the social common sense related to the concepts that Teacher Ok explains, your knowledge of geography and culture will become richer.
