You never know when you will come across something new and unique to then discover it has already been highlighted somewhere else.
I recently found the map titled Daily Mail world map of war and commerce while searching for maps of the world wars. A few days later, the Teacher Page folks posted a new Infomational Text Primary Sources Set...which included the same map. I had not thought of teaching it with an informational text angle for analysis, so it is always good to share ideas and look for entities that have used the same document from a different perspective or in a unique way.
The insets with many infographic icons will help students grasp the difference between the "Comparative Resources of the Belligerent Powers at the Outbreak of Hostilities". Could they recreate infographics of similar topics for current world conflicts?

Wow, what a wonderfully detailed and complex map

. Recreating infographics of similar topics for current world conflicts would be quite a project! Another thought would be to use this map, along with a couple more linked to below, as examples of types of information maps can convey. Then for an end-of-year project in a class like AP Human Geography (after the test), students could choose one aspect of their learning over the course the year to feature in a map of their own creation.
- Carte figurative et approximative représentant pour l'année 1858 les émigrants du globe (world immigration)
- Coping with the rising tide of European immigration (c. 1993)
- Narcotics growing areas and trafficking routes (1993)
- Property: women own about one percent of the world's land (1997)
- Kenya 12-69
Does anyone else have links to other maps from the Library that could be added to this set?

The TPS Teachers Network has an equal exchange of ideas. You know it's not a place where you're being judged.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
