How does an author who doesn't illustrate come up with a map for her book? The book will have lots of photographs, too, which I am acquiring the the rights for.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541063678406252574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-82132899148597882252012-07-03T09:05:45.089-04:002012-07-03T09:05:45.089-04:00Forgot to mention that if you click on all the pic...Forgot to mention that if you click on all the pictures, you can blow these maps up to full screen size. The very first link in red type near the top of the blog will take you to a cool website that showcases many colorful ancient maps as well. Making illuminated maps is a fun project for kids when they go away on vacation....or even when they're close to home.Rosalyn Schanzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605814379256096903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-27717792034429038592011-02-01T13:19:04.599-05:002011-02-01T13:19:04.599-05:00Thanks for this lovely post.

I responded to maps way, way back in time (3rd or 4th grade)because they were visual and the information seemed to stick in my head easily. And Vicki is so right. Map drawing can help kids explore a variety of topics. When our oldest son, Mike, was about to enter a very big and (to him) scary school for 3rd Grade we visited the school and then did a map of its layout so he could 'see' how to navigate the halls.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724255232058112413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-2437160493678657302011-02-01T08:50:47.486-05:002011-02-01T08:50:47.486-05:00Terrific post, Roz.

You don't have to just map the world's geography anad history. You can draw a map of a room, or a neighborhood, or a garden. Ask kids to draw a map and they'll learn that a map is a representation. A map can be a point of view into many disciplines.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214356318088069618noreply@blogger.com
