Mental Map of World History: Maps, Globes, Literature, Art, Music, Architecture, Etc.

"A child needs to form an increasingly focused mental map of history and of the world in order to comprehend his place in space and time; physical maps aid this tremendously. In all his studies, use timelines of history, use maps and globes of the world, and use pictures (of art objects and architecture, etc.) from other places and times" (Wes Callihan, Preparing Younger Children for a Great Books Education, 13).
