We described in the book on Ancient Persia those reasons why it is best to leave mapmaking for the end of the fifth year, and remain in the realm of an imaginative picture of geography for the early part of the year. In such a case, an imaginative picture of a huge crescent shape of fertile land where early civilizations arose can appeal to the student of this age far more so than a map laid out on the grid of latitude and longitude. 6th Grade Social Studies, Homeschool Social Studies, Ancient China, Ancient Art, Ancient History, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Civilizations
