![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We began Mapping the World by Heart this year, and I'm loving. The final project is to draw (freehand) an entire world map. And several lessons help you see how all of the pieces fit together. Over the course of the 30 lessons, you draw basically the whole world. Well, you'll have a *greatly* improved understanding of that particular region of the world. If you do the map along with the dvd a couple of times, then attempt to draw it on your own, then refer back to double check. McHenry slowly and carefully explains everything she's doing. All you see is the piece of paper and the hands. Whether to do any of them is up to the teacher.īut the real value for me in the program is the dvds. There are a *ton* of activities for each lesson, some just fun, and others really good for helping kids understand the science behind mapmaking or measuring the world, etc. I think the history is good, if a bit dry. It's entirely possible to skip the history portion and just use the mapping lessons (there are step-by-step drawings and a dvd, so you can use either or both in order to learn how to draw each map). The drawing lesson is generally related to the history lesson in some way, but the maps are generally contemporary, though there are sometimes discussions of changing geologic features or political changes and name changes. There are three main elements to each lesson: a history lesson (chronological history of efforts to map the known world), activities that generally help the student understand how those efforts were made, and a drawing lesson for a part of the world. it looks like the focus is historical maps vs. Other Resources for Learning Challenges.Resources (and Curricula) for Processing Difficulties.Science Courses: Text/Online Support Packages.Apps, Learning Games, and Online Enrichment Activities.Getting Started: Beginning the Home Education Adventure.Stories and Tales From Around the World. ![]()
