Description
Geography is essential to a child's education. And basic to that study is a simple outline of provinces, countries and continents. In Draw Canada and Greenland I have tried to give students an easy introduction to committing the map of Canada and Greenland to memory. Through simple, step-by-step instructions, students learn to draw each province and territory as they connect to their neighbors and, with a little practice, will be able to draw Canada and Greenland as a whole.
ArtK12 Draw the World Series offers a hands-on geography learning experience for students with variable drawing abilities. Every page walks you through drawing one portion of a complete map. You will use your own blank paper and pencil for this part. Shapes are not too precise. An older student can follow an atlas or map reference to add more detail if they wish, while a younger child can focus on more basic outlines of states and countries.
Digital templates are free from the publisher’s website for many of the books. Some have reproducible templates in the back of the book. A child who is not confident diving right in can use these to get started, following the instructions from that point. Others will simply begin and go! You will only need 1 or 2 pieces of paper per student to create these maps. Each drawing step is in red, either dots or lines. When finished, outline your entire map with a marker and have fun coloring it in!
Read the informational blurbs and discuss as you draw. Maybe look up a particular feature and learn more details! Refer to an actual map and look at what surrounds your map. Is it land or ocean? Mountains or plains? Do you know about the animals and people who live there?
Add an ArtK12 book to a unit study about an animal’s habitat, a part of history, or your geography lesson. Your kids will remember the process as much as the product. Maps can be abstract for some learners. Drawing a map themselves is an accomplishment and makes world geography more relatable. Because you are not writing directly in the books, you can keep them for more students to use.
You could finish your map in one sitting, or stretch it out, taking a deeper dive as you go. Draw the World comes with flexibility to make it fit your learners. FYI – the various maps are not in scale to create a large world map. ~Sara
