Geographic Maps As A Teaching Tool地理图作为教学工具

Using good Geographic maps as a teaching aid helps bring the world into the classrooms.用好地理地图作为教材进入课堂,有助于使世界. It was highlighted recently in a national paper that most students in High School in the United States have difficulties in locating Norway on a map, while the people in Norway could easily locate the United States of America.据最近在国家文件强调,大多数学生在高中在美国有困难挪威位置在地图上虽然人在挪威很容易找到美国. Now, this is not a really fair comparison.现在,这不是一个真正公平的比较. Firstly, the United States looks pretty big on a map, while Norway is practically lost in a land mass of other countries in a densely populated Europe.首先,美国就显得相当大图而挪威几乎失去了其他国家的集体土地在人口稠密的欧洲. Secondly, it is unfair to condemn all High School students in the United States and making a sweeping statement regarding their academic potential because of their lack of knowledge of a single geography question.其次,这是不公平的谴责所有高中生在美国对其作出笼统由于其学术潜力单一地理知识缺乏的问题. Thirdly, if a student is exposed to or has access to a library of geographic maps, the student will no doubt be able to pinpoint as to where every country in world is.第三,如果学生已经进入或暴露图书馆地理地图无疑,学生可以在那里找到世界每一个国家.

Ok, that third part was a bit of an exaggeration.好,第三部分是过于夸大. Having access to excellent geographic maps will not automatically elevate anyone into an expert, but these maps provide an excellent reference point to help educate them with the skills needed to develop a solid foundation of the geographic points of interest in the world.获得优良的地理地图不会自动提升到任何一个专家、但是这些地图提供极好的参考,帮助他们进行教育与技能发展的坚实基础地理兴趣点之一.

Geographic maps that are accurate and well researched will provide you with a clear overview of all the countries in the world.地理地图是准确和周详研究会向你提供一个明确各国概况世界. With clear delineations of borders, unambiguous fonts and use of contrasting colors, there will be no difficulty in locating the names and whereabouts of all the various countries in the world.以分工明确的边界,明确字体和使用的色彩,不会有困难的姓名和追寻下落所有世界各国. Also, the geographic maps will be color coded so that land, sea, mountainous regions and deserts are clearly differentiated.同时,将彩色地图地理编码,使陆、海、山地和沙化日趋明显区别. Maps of good quality will serve as an excellent starting point for a Geography lesson plan for educators in line with the 18 U.S. National Geography Standards set in 1994.地图将作为优质优良起点地理课按计划教育家与美国国家地理标准181994.

These colorful Geographic maps also make great decors for a classroom.这些丰富多彩的地理地图也做出了很大decors教室. Hanging maps of the world on the walls in a classroom give a classroom that ‘classic’ look but most important of all they help students see, understand, and appreciate the inter-relationships between people, places and the world around them.世界地图挂在教室的墙壁,让教室的经典'看看,可是最重要所有这些帮助学生看到,理解和欣赏相互关系人,地方及世界.
