Abstract	This study guide was developed for teachers and students participating in the Peace Corps World Wise Schools program. The primary purpose of the study guide series is to enhance each class's correspondence with its Peace Corps Volunteer and to help students gain a greater understanding of regions and cultures different from their own. The specific purpose of this guide on Lesotho is to support these aims through a close-up study of "The Mountain Kingdom." A developing nation surrounded by an industrialized power, Lesotho is both an anomaly among nations and, at the same time, a symbol of the geographical and cultural dynamics at work in almost every land. Study of Lesotho reveals with particular clarity the way physical geography has shaped, preserved, and transformed local human culture. The intent of this study guide is to direct student attention to that interplay. The topic units of this guide have been grouped by three academic levels: (1) grades 3-5; (2) grades 6-9; and (3) grades 10-12. The units within each level have been developed along the five fundamental themes of geography. The lesson material within each topic is arranged in five sub-sections. In each topic unit, the Focus section briefly summarizes the subject(s) of the lesson(s). The Resource section lists related worksheets, handouts, and maps. The Background section supplies additional information about the topic. The Activities section details a variety of Lesotho-related exercises for students. The final Extension section suggests ways to bring these topic activities home for students by linking the study of Lesotho to life in the United States. (Author/DK)
