About This Book

The author presents a practical method of chalk modeling to teach structural geography and the drawing of relief maps. An introductory section argues for field lessons, image interpretation, and a focus on surface structure as preparation for mapmaking, followed by fifteen step-by-step chalk-modeling lessons with illustrations and classroom suggestions. Lessons cover representation of slopes, watersheds, coasts, erosion, climatic zones, river basins, and continental maps, and include teacher notes for grade-level use and specific maps of North America, Mexico, South America, Eurasia, Africa, and Australia. A concluding summary and references guide classroom application and further study.
