I am a junior as well, but i can suggest what i have intended to do. You can start with the planet earth, earth in the universe and earth-sun relationship, then you can can jump to atmosphere and lithosphere and so on. It will give you some fundamental ideas, some of which you will be already aware of.
What i am going to do is to skip the map portion for now and prepare it at the end.
Bets of luck
By the way which book are you consulting?

@Venomous

well strahler's book is complex one to begin with...

you should go throught an esay book for understanding...

like Physical Geograhy by Mian Anwar which is just copy of a recommended book by Phillip Lake

in addition you can study Iftikhar Akram Ch's book.........although these books are authored by Pakistani writers, yet most of their portions are copied from the best books written by foreign writers..

you can also consult Dblij's physical Geograhy after these two books
as concerns the book by Strahler, it is quite exhaustive and very detailed, but not advisable for the beginners...

@asad

Thnx will go for a simpler book as this one is looking quite a diff book to swallow so far

---------

Done with Earth Sun relationship ..... earth and moon relationship is a bit more ticky i think.... stuck on the lunar positions and tidal waves.... Anyways one quick question... should we remember the distances in both miles and kilometers or just make one as our standard and then follow it the whole... whats the norm in papers??
