A Cape in a Lake : Lake Como (ko'mo), Italy 



The cape is the point of land. Why would 

 you like to live in this town ? How much farther 

 could you see than if you did not live on a cape ? 

 Winds from over the water are cooling on hot 

 days. Why would you like to live on a cape in 

 the hot summer time ? Storm winds are strongest 

 over water because no high points of land check 

 them. Where would you rather live in stormy 

 times ? And where will the cold winter winds be 

 strongest? In summer the storm winds blow 



down this lake. They make the waves rise high. 

 The boats try to reach quiet water. The cape 

 shuts off the wind and makes a quiet place be- 

 side it. Two capes often make a bay. If they 

 have high rocks or hills on them the bay is shel- 

 tered. Then it is a safe place for ships to come 

 to land. 



This cape is too small to be shown on the 

 map. vStudy the map of North America and 

 name all the capes. Tell where each is. 



'A cape is a point of land extending into the water." 



"A mountain peak is a high elevation of land composed mainly of rocks." 



How much of an idea of the wonders and beauties of Mt. Hood, of Pike's 

 Peak, the Grand Canyon, or the Library of Congress can a child get from text 

 alone? How much time is wasted in trying to comprehend definitions without 

 pictures ?
