Helping Students Relate
• If you have access to a globe, use it!– Point out Alabama, the United States, and Canaan!– This shows that these stories are very REAL and
that we are learning about a real place• Discuss the size of the land, compared to the
local geography– Most students K and above will have been to
Birmingham– From the Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea is 80 miles
Helping Students Relate
• Most students will have seen a river• Most students will have seen a mountain• Some students may not have seen the ocean
or a gulf, but many will have• Most students will not have seen a desert, but
will have an idea of what a desert is like• Most will have seen farmland and livestock
Using Maps
• USE MAPS!!!– Especially with children
• Use blank maps that the students can label• Allow the younger students to color the maps• Use the whiteboard• Use handouts• Don’t just do one class on geography!– Integrate geography into many of your lessons– Review geography
The Condition of the Land
• The land of Canaan has not always been as barren as it is today
• It was a fertile land during the time that we are studying!– Num. 13:27; Deut 11:10-11, 14-15, 17– We should know why the land is barren now!
(Deut 29:22-28)
