Publisher's Description of Drawing Around the World: Europe (Geography Drawing Series)
Drawing Around the World: Europe, the first book in The Geography Drawing Series, outlines a simple, fast, and easy approach to teach students to memorize the countries of Europe.
With Drawing Around the World: Europe, students, in only minutes per day, engage in fun geography lessons that teach them to draw the countries of Europe and learn interesting facts about each country as they complete the country fact table.
Add Drawing Around the World: Europe to your school day and teach your student to draw the independent countries of Europe.
A common complaint against young people here in the US is that they don't know their place in the world. Now, this may be true, but what I really mean is that they can barely pick their own country or state from a blank map - let alone a country somewhere else in the world. This series is an easily accessible solution to the very problem faced by students everywhere today! The premise is simple: repeated tracing and copying of each country or US state will help students become familiar with its outline. Then, each week, students draw the cumulative pool of outlines learned (free-hand, from memory) - resulting in an ever increasingly completed continent map with political boundaries (or US map with showing states). Along the way, students will be researching and recording basic country or state facts. Books are organized into detailed schedules by day (Europe within a 24-week schedule and the USA within 27). Methods, objectives, and additional memorization techniques are included in each book. These books are consumable, but permission is given to reproduce pages for use within a single family. 233 pp, sc. ~ Zach
