My middle school students will use these Rand McNally Classroom Atlases to learn about our world. Nothing has shaped human history more than world geography. World populations have grown the most where the geography is suitable for survival. My students will use the atlases for basic geography assignments such as learning about latitude or longitude, or answering simple questions such as "What is the capital of Germany?" They will also be asked to dig deeper, and learn where the largest countries are, for example, or what countries have the largest populations. Or why so many great cities were founded and grew near oceans, rivers, or lakes. Maps and graphs on topics such as population density, world environments, energy consumption, and climate zones allow students to find their own place in a much larger world. Middle school students are searching for answers. Where and how do they fit in? Many students enjoy Atlas work, but with today's technology maps are becoming a thing of the past for young students. It is so easy to search the internet for answers, but in the context of geography I feel much is lost without the use of paper maps.
