I would love to have the students build models of some of the various cities, buildings and topics we discuss in Human Geography. We are discussing Denmark very soon, which is home to the LEGO company. Making the connections to the real world is the beginning of sparking an interest in world travel. Often times we teach about faraway places and wish we could actually visit. I would love to have the students replicate the cities we talk about in class. I have made a map of Washington DC out of LEGO bricks and using that example, we can make any city in the world on a micro-scale.
