athena1277 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Dd loves to do the mapwork in SOTW, but always complains that there is not enough. Next year she will be in 5th and I plan to go back to do SOTW 1 with her. I would love to add more mapwork or geography to our lessons for dd (ds will do the maps in the AG as a 1st grader). I do not have the time to come up with mapwork for every lesson. Is there something out there that someone else has worked up that goes along with it? Thanks!

Chris in VA Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'm sure there is, but one way I found to make the mapwork a little more involved is to have dd draw a key for each map. She also colored in more of the map (colored pencils), but that may feel like busy work to some. I know TOG has a neat overlay map system--you could see if anyone has posted about that. It uses transparencies. I do like putting an acetate outline map with current borders/countries over some of the SOTW maps, but I don't have anything I can share. I just think it's nice when the kids know what part of the "current" world they are learning about via Ancients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Maybe get her an atlas and then blank outline maps and let her completely fill them in herself, using the atlas as a guide. I have this and it is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 This workbook goes along well with the sequence in SOTW.

Dolphin Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 We are doing SOTW 1 again in 5th. We are doing the mapwork, but I am also starting drawing the world by heart. We are going to work through that over the next 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 A lot of people seem to like Ellen McHenry's Mapping the World with Art. I haven't used it, but I'm planning to when we start over with Ancients again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
