World Geography Copywork Copyright 2015 Janeen Herlugson This copywork pack is intended to enhance your child's knowledge of World Geography.

When researching facts, there were so many things I wanted to place on each map that I had to be careful not to over crowd them or they wouldn't be legible for copying.

These facts will enhance the learning your child is already getting from their Geography program. I recommend that your child copy the names of the continents and oceans on every map they produce.

2 World Geography Copywork Copyright 2015 Janeen Herlugson This copywork pack is intended to enhance your child's knowledge of World Geography. It is not a Geography Curriculum, nor a complete Geography study and therefore, is not inclusive of all Geography facts. When researching facts, there were so many things I wanted to place on each map that I had to be careful not to over crowd them or they wouldn't be legible for copying. I sorted through all the information and only included facts that are the most important, the largest, the longest, the most well-known, or the must-know of each map topic. These facts will enhance the learning your child is already getting from their Geography program. I recommend that your child copy the names of the continents and oceans on every map they produce. This will help them quickly learn the most important basic facts. I also recommend that when copying the maps with color distributions, have your child copy one color at a time so they can see the distribution of that particular item on the map, for example, Mineral Distributions Map - color all of the iron shapes first so the child will see where all the iron deposits are located around the world and proceed with each mineral until complete.
