Practice Drawing the World

While learning to draw the world the key is practice. This will make new knowledge permanent in our minds. In this class, we will have time to practice drawing the world. We can also take time to learn how to spell things, work on specific parts that cause problems, etc. 

Class structure:
This class is like a tutor session for learning to draw the world and its continents and countries. The class will help us to learn the shapes and locations of the different states and countries. It will also help us to learn the absolute location of each country and its relative location to other countries and states. This class will also increase our knowledge regarding country names and their capitals as well as identify major bodies of water. We will begin class by asking what continent or country each student would like to practice. Each student will then draw and label as much as they know. The student will begin drawing the continent they have chosen to practice. If they need a reference map to trace or see, that is okay. As they draw, they can ask questions to resolve any issues that they may have. One student may not be able to remember how to draw a particular place. Another student may not remember how to label the states in the northeast. In each case, the teacher will answer the questions and together the teacher and student will discuss ways to remember the difficult information in the future. If other students are working quietly, the teacher and student may use a breakout room to keep from interrupting the others. As the class continues, the teacher will continue asking questions and the students will continue drawing. The goal of the class is to increase our geography knowledge regarding the countries and their locations and names. The more we draw, the less we will need reference material. The material will be memorized! 

Class schedule:
Topic one:
