ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHING LOCATION
At the start of the school year. At the start of the school year, invite students to create from memory an outline map of the world. (As an alternative, students might draw a map of the United States or of their state, if those will be the focus of the year's curriculum.) Collect the maps. At the end of the school year, repeat the activity. Then bring out the maps that the students created in the first days of school. How have their maps changed? Are their end-of-year maps a big improvement over those drawn at the start of the year?
