Foreword
The Magellan Collection, which consists of a teacher's guide (Teaching geography
in cycle 3) and a manual (Geography cycle 3) is now supplemented by a bank of p
hotocopiable exercises. Here is the corrected exercises covering the entire prog
ram cycle 3: the exercises are divided into four main themes, themes that corres
pond to programs in 2002 and 2007 but also the cutting of the manual. In correct
ed, you will find: - red the corrected or adjusted suggestions - green, guidelin
es for selecting exercises based on objectives (year of implementation, student
assessment, formation of the paper trail ...) , boards of operation to guide stu
dents, suggestions for evaluating various possible answers ... Teachers will fin
d tips and more detailed information concerning the periods studied in the guide
teaching geography in cycle 3 in the Magellan.

Instructions
1. Choose an exercise based program, your division, your objectives (establishme
nt of the written record, application, evaluation ...) and depending on the leve
l of students.
2. Photocopy the page to keep your exercise bank intact and cut the chosen exerc
ise with its title.
3. Put it on a blank page. Allow room for a caption or correction of the year.
4. Complete the page: - customize it: enter the title sequence, number the year,
expect the place for students to write their name, date ... - possibly, arrange
the documents: draw lines to indicate the driving where students write on the c
ards ... - possibly, provide guidance to assist students to work independently:
advise students to help their manual, their book cycle, a dictionary, an atlas o
f search to the BCD ...
5. Photocopy the assembly and distribute it to students.
6. Some exercises can be the written record: each student cut the result of his
work (map, diagram ... arrow) after correction and stick it in his notebook cycl
e.
Other exercises can stay in a workbook, a goblin or a shirt.

Tropical Asia has an average density of about 170 inhabitants per km2, whereas i
n the rest of the world's humid tropical, average densities do not reach 15 inha
bitants per km2. This difference is explained by the different modes of use of s
pace: the practice of rice in tropical Asia.
According to R. Brunet, Universal Geography, Hachette-Reclus, 1990

rice are densely populated.
Rice is the traditional farming system that provides the greatest amount of food
per hectare, which requires the greatest amount of human labor for the same sur
