Outline maps afford students the opportunity to practice book map skills by allowing them to create their own maps. such an activity, even if only to replicate an existing map, can strengthen students' ability to use scales, interpret legends, coordinate longitude and latitude, and realize relative and exact location. This will also reinforce students' awareness of the five themes of geography --location, place, region, movement, and human-environment interaction--the geographic fores that have been at work throughout the history of the earth.
