PRESENTATION OUTLINE
History and Geography
- I think history and geography should be taught in the same class because...
- Geography tells about how those mountains,
- Or these seas were there before people started to live there,
- And then history tells how these people used these resources,
- And what they can get out of it or what they can build on top of it.
