<u>Maps</u>
-- I taught about road maps using official highway maps of Ontario.
-- Have students draw their own maps by copying continent maps on to paper that was already gridded with latitude and longitude lines.
<u>Films</u>
-- Many documentary and fiction films are excellent. I showed the movie <i>Gandhi</i> to my 8th grade world history class.
-- This may sound silly, but my 7th grade world geography class learned more about Japan by watching <i>Big Bird Goes to Japan</i> than they had any other country just by reading about it.

<u>Slides</u>
-- I had collected slides from my travels and showed 5 or 6 that illustrated our day's lesson.
