Synopsis

The main objective of the School Geographic Atlas is to encourage the teaching of Geography in classes from the 6th to the 7th years of Elementary School. There are several maps, images, graphs, tables, explanatory texts and pedagogical suggestions to make it easier for students to get closer to the place where they live. In this way, through the use of this product in Geography classes, we aim to awaken the individual and collective interest of the students in question, as it is the “Place” of each subject’s daily experience and their relationship with other places in the “World”. By contemplating the pages of the atlas, it will be possible for the student to understand the relationships that São José do Seridó, as a specific place, has with other places in the world, without having to lose its particular characteristics.
