To teach the children how to learn the map of a country by means of map questions. 4. To implant mental pictures of the characteristic scenery of Norway in the children’s minds. 5. To show, by means of comparison, the great difference in the physical features of the two countries which are included in Scandinavia, although they form only one peninsula. LESSON. _Step 1._—Let the children learn the map of Scandinavia, Norway in particular, by means of the map questions previously written on the blackboard, writing down their answers. _Step 2._—Ask for a general description of Scandinavia. _Step 3._—Let the children fill in the blank map on the blackboard. _Step 4._—Require the children to give the answers to the questions, and, as they answer, give information, in order that they may become acquainted with each place as it is mentioned, and be able to picture it in their minds. MAP QUESTIONS. From the _Geographical Readers_, Book IV. 1. What waters bound the Scandinavian peninsula? To what land is it attached? What countries does it include? NOTE. Describe the government of Scandinavia briefly, showing that, although Sweden and Norway have a common sovereign, each country has an independent parliament, elected in very much the same way as our English Parliament. 2. Through how many degrees of latitude does this peninsula stretch? What other countries of the world lie partly in the same latitude? 3. Describe the coast of Norway. Compare it with that of Sweden. Name the four largest fiords or openings, beginning at the extreme north. NOTE.
