Draw the World by Kristen J. Draeger

This is a favorite book of ours. It is easy enough for younger students who are ready to move away from blob maps into something a little more detailed. And it’s amazing for Challenge A students who need to practice getting the sizing and spacing correct on their world maps. Everyone can use it!

Description

From Amazon:

Geography is essential to a childā€™s education. And basic to that study is a simple outline of states, countries and continents. In Draw the World, I have tried to give students an easy introduction to committing the map of the world to memory. Through simple, step-by-step instructions, kids learn to draw each continent as it connects to its neighbors and, with a little practice, will be able to draw the world as a whole.Education seeks to broaden a children’s minds, to entice them to explore.

Through books, and videos kids can virtually travel to faraway places; studying geography will augment those travels and their journey will be that much richer because they know where they are going.By giving children a primer in the borders and locations of states, provinces and countries I hope to invite them further into the beautifully complicated world of geography.
