Description

I decided to follow the instructions and print out the maps from the ArtK12 website. That was easy. Cut on the lines and tape them together. That was easy too. I cut out the wee color photos too, though I was not sure where they fit in. That too was easy. And NOW I was ready to follow the pages in this book. The next step involves going page-to-page labeling countries (write small), drawing in borders here and there, finding the most northern, southern, eastern, and western points in Europe, and other related activities. Lo and behold! My next task was to draw animals with step-by-step instructions. My map was getting more and more full, but I persevered. I should say that I immediately noticed the outlines of the countries were a bit…soft and rounded looking. It is almost a cartoon map you are working from. Here and there, I taped the small color photos of natural wonders to the map. It is all making sense now and I am having fun doing it! I decided that I had done enough of the book to understand how to share my experience. In labeling, adding things gradually, and reading a bit about this and that, I was looking at my map repeatedly. If I were a student, I would start to learn the countries! And the animals! And my directions! I found the looseness of the map encouraging – my drawing did not have to be perfect to demonstrate my knowledge. By Jove, she gets it! A student can certainly do this series independently and have fun doing it. Since you are not actually doing any writing in the book itself, you can easily use this resource for multiple students. ~Sara
