Teaching Map Skills in the Elementary School.
Hawkins, Michael L.
Indiana Social Studies Quarterly, v32 n3 p33-37 Win 1979-80
Maintains that: (1) mapping skills in elementary school social studies classes should not be separated from life situations; (2) maps are tools that can be used to collect, store, and share information; and (3) the best way for pupils to learn about mapping skills is to combine map and globe activities with content, observation, and real life experiences.
