Can I ever express HOW much I LOVE maps! I think they are the coolest thing ever. They tell you where to go, what you/others call locations, boundaries, political climate, geography, discovery, population...
I changed my office so that I now have the Nat'l Geo maps hanging up. I currently have up "The Two Koreas," "Africa," "Mexico & Central America," and "The Eastern Mediterranean." I love it and it really helps to give the students something to look at and comment on.
Like the student the other day who didn't realize that so many countries in Africa had such LARGE quantities of land (like Algeria). Understandable - many have land that is not used much and you can say it is similar to Canada and Russia in that case.
