Especially for those who are drilling for memory master, I wanted to clarify about drawing the features (Journeymen and Masters only). Many of the geography locations will only require the student to point to identify. I want to list all the features that will require more than pointing (a total of only 20 features this year). Note: All cities should be marked with an "x". The following is a list that the children will be required to draw:
Week 1: --
Week 2: --
Week 3: Seine River, Rhine River, Danube River, Po River, Elbe River
Week 4: London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Orleans
Week 5: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Carpathians, Alps, Pyrenees
Week 6: --
Week 7: --
Week 8: Treaty of Tordesillas (dotted line)
Week 9: --
Week 10: --
Week 11: Constantinople/Istanbul, Moscow, Ural Mountains, Volga River
Week 12-24: --
For all the locations, please make sure you drill your student by asking them to locate... and by pointing and asking them to identify... For MM, I will test both ways.
Also, please mix up the locations as you quiz. The student must master this material, not memorize a pattern. I may ask for Moscow, then point to North America and ask the student, "What is this?", then ask them to draw the Po River. I probably won't mix it up that much, but the student should be capable of navigating through any combination of locations.
