Learning basic world geography can be fun\u00a0when using a simple “sketch map”.<\/p>\n

Our map called “All Around With Professor Earthworm” is a simple \u201cSketch Map\u201d of all the continents and the oceans. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>A simple sketch map is not detailed, but it allows you to have a basic image of the world that you can build on. \u00a0For learning new geography concepts, \u00a0is very helpful to have a basic view of what the world looks like that is straightforward and not intimidating! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see, this map shows very simple depictions of the continents!<\/b><\/h3>\n

Presented with\u00a0very simple illustrative lines, the continents of the world are recognizable.<\/p>\n

The activities on the map lead students to fill in the continent NAMES, and the OCEANS of the world.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

By using our MAP CHALLENGE<\/a> for this map, which is a FREE digital file on our website, students can expand further with the map.<\/p>\n

To start, students a 17 ISLANDS or ISLAND GROUPS to this basic map. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, they can\u00a0also add 7 MOUNTAIN RANGES, 8 RIVERS and 6 DESERTS.<\/p>\n

Go to our site and take advantage of this 14-page geography digital file!<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Here is an example of what the map will look like when the first set of islands are drawn in! \u00a0Extra details are fun to do–labeling the MAP GRID\u00a0and DECORATIONS!<\/p>\n

\"Prof<\/a><\/p>\n

After these large geography details are drawn\u00a0in (ISLANDS, MOUNTAINS, DESERTS and\u00a0RIVERS), students\u00a0can sketch in any other details of the world they\u00a0would like.\u00a0 \u00a0The finished map is colorful, informative and something to keep for a long time!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
