(2nd) Lesson: What is the Geography of My Community?

Readers will have fun while learning a lot about maps, charts, and city plans in this informative book. The attractive layout features a colorful grid framing each double-page spread that introduces a basic concept ("Left and Right," "North or South," "Plans and Symbols," "Colors and Contours") through text and an activity. The fresh projects begin with a game to help students understand directions and continue with a design for an eight-point compass face, a 3-D model of a street plan, and suggestions for creating a picture map. The clear, colorful photos and drawings make the text and the activities easy to understand. This book will be an inspiration to budding cartographers. A good introduction to geography.
