It is very helpful to have a range of resources– maps, atlases and globes– when working on our activity maps.<\/strong> Today students can use the internet <\/strong>to research, but it is wonderful to have other hands-on resources too when filling in details and labeling a map. Also, looking at different kinds of atlases<\/strong> allows students to see the way maps have looked in the past, and the many different styles that are employed to make maps today.<\/p>\n

\"Maps<\/a>At Maps for the Classroom we have a library of geography books and atlases we have collected over the years. We encourage you to do the same! We have atlases that are up-to-date and show the world as it is today, as well as historical atlases<\/strong> that show countries of the world in previous times. We have books <\/strong>about ancient civilizations, American history, unusual animals from around the world as well as books about the earth and its surface, just to name a few! Some of our books are new and some are very old.<\/p>\n

The best books have maps as well as text to explain how the geography of a region influences people who live there.
\n<\/strong>
\nIn addition to using your school and local libraries, you can build a library of geography-related books just for you own classroom, for reference and to learn more about the world, past and present. Be sure your maps are up-to-date and reflect the current state of the world.
\n<\/strong>
\nYou can buy new books <\/strong>— so many wonderful titles are available today. But if you have a limited budget for books, look for used or second-hand c<\/strong>opies of books. Be sure to check your local or school library holdings. This gives you a chance to consider books you might like to buy inexpensively, through a local second-hand bookstore or a used book sellers online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
