................... Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Can someone tell me where to purchase the best BlackLine maps masters book? I am hoping to get one under 20.00. (I do NOT want to use the internet, as I find that finding what I need just gets too complicated and time-consuming) :o) Quote
KeriJ Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I don't know what the best book would be, but we have the cd for Uncle Josh's Outline Maps. I also have a membership to notebookingpages.com which has outline maps. I don't have to search anywhere else. :) 2 Quote
KeriJ Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 and ftr, that is the method I am using to teach geography. We like it! (we do also add Sheppard's Software drills and Geography Songs) 1 Quote
................... Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 awesome!! I'll go ahead and get the Josh's then.... I plan to keep it fairly simple. Just grab a book each week, read a bit, color and label the maps, spend only two days per week and then follow that up with Shepperds.... Thanks! Quote
................... Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 they offer it on amazon, new! I was glad, as I do like to actually give the money to homeschool businesses. :o) Quote
carriede Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 awesome!! I'll go ahead and get the Josh's then.... I plan to keep it fairly simple. Just grab a book each week, read a bit, color and label the maps, spend only two days per week and then follow that up with Shepperds.... Thanks! Not to sidebtrack, but... I also want to do black lines... I got Nat Geo's Kids World Atlas so I would know WHAT to put on the black lines. But the atlas packs in as much as it can so I have a hard time determining which mountain ranges, deserts, rivers, etc are the most important to draw and label. What sources do you (and others) use to determine this? I'd like 10-15 features per continent, not country specific yet. 3 Quote
................... Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 That is a GREAT question!!!! If we don't get any responses let's start a new thread Quote
Verity Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Slightly different note... I used McHenry's Mapping the World with Art and matched that up with reading Expedition Earth and the assigned historical literature for Geography from Wayfarer's. A good combination for learning geography with a strong cultural point of view. Quote
Alice Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I use the Uncle Josh's maps along with the Trail Guide to World Geography. We don't really use the Trail Guide as a curriculum but someone gave it to me and I use it as a resource to help me tell them what to map and look for. Sometimes I pick some of the questions for them to look up or highlight a specific geographical feature. I'm not sure it's worth purchasing just for that but it works well that way and if you were able to find it inexpensively it might be worth getting. Quote
