jcross222 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Does anyone have any good resources for learning to identify major landmarks and monuments of the world? I have 6th graders who are interested in such things. I have found some lists on pdf, but am really looking for pictures of the sites if possible. Either online sources or book suggestions would be great. Usually my library has what I'm looking for, but not this time. I would rather not have to go through travel guides country by country if possible. Thanks ahead of time!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Last month (I think) Target had flashcards for world landmarks in their dollar section. I don't go there often, so I'm not sure it they're still there, but it's worth a call if you have a Target nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Your library ought to have books on art and architecture. No nice, big volumes with gorgeous photography? :svengo: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Fandex Family Field Guides: The Wonders of The World: 46 Monuments of Civilization (Note: These qualify for the 4-for-3 deal, so if you order 4 items of similar value you get the 4th free.)
