Introduction
O
Students enjoy using outline maps as hands-on
activities that stimulate interest and provide variety
in the classroom. Outline maps invite students to
create their own learning materials. Students can
use the maps they create as they prepare for various
assessments.
The outline maps provided in this book are valuable learning aids because of their flexibility. They
are inexpensive and easy to use. The same map can
be used for several topics in one chapter, or even for
several different courses.

utline maps are among the most valuable tools
available to social studies teachers today. All
areas of the social studies curriculum can benefit by
using outline maps.
Outline maps provide a visual image of information. Studies have shown that most students learn
better when they can visualize material. Outline maps
also provide a context for understanding the world
in spatial terms. As students add details to the basic
outline maps, they are actively organizing information in spatial terms. They can explore the physical
characteristics of places such as landforms, bodies
of water, and vegetation.
1
Uses for
Outline Maps
O
utline maps are teaching aids that can broaden
classroom experiences. How can teachers best
determine ways to use these tools? The following
information suggests a few ways to approach the
use of outline maps in social studies classrooms.
Practicing Map Skills
Recent reports note an alarming decline in the ability of students to use basic map skills. These basic skills
include using scales and legends, determining longitude and latitude, understanding relative and exact
location, and identifying symbols. Standardized tests
are now requiring that students acquire some degree
of map knowledge.
Rather than placing the entire burden of teaching
map skills on geography teachers, other social studies
teachers can help in this effort. All social studies teaching can be enhanced through the use of outline maps.
Developing Perspectives
Noting Patterns and Trends
Maps can put complex statistics and factual information into a readily understandable form. Statistics
about the amounts and locations of oil and natural gas
reserves throughout the world might leave students
2
Recognizing Change
Another difficult concept for students is the idea
of change. Politics, the environment, and society are
constantly shifting. Outline maps are perfect for showing “before” and “after” pictures. A teacher might use
an outline map to show changing political borders,
such as those of Poland before and after World War II.
An outline map could be used to show the shifting of
the American population to the Sunbelt areas of our
country. Maps also can be used to show geographical
changes, such as the erosion of seashores by the oceans
or the alteration of landscapes by glacier movements.
Perfecting Social Studies Skills
Besides helping students learn specific course content, maps can help students perfect their social studies skills. For example, once information about the
distribution of natural resources throughout the world
is pictured on a map, students can be asked to draw
conclusions of their own.
Some students may suggest that resources are
unevenly distributed and, therefore, must be shared
among countries. Others may realize that many
resources are available in areas of the world that are
undeveloped, therefore suggesting the need for exploration. Drawing conclusions, a critical thinking skill, is
only one example of the skills developed by discovery learning. Other skills that can be developed using
outline maps include making inferences, making generalizations, classifying information, predicting consequences, and evaluating information.

As visual tools, maps help students develop perspective. Using maps, students can learn basic personal perspectives. They can identify where their city, county, state,
and country are located within the broader world picture.
Then, relationships and higher-level concepts can
surface. Using maps to teach a history lesson on the
Cold War, students can see how far their homes are
from the former Soviet Union. They may also realize
how close Alaska is to the former Soviet Union. They
can then begin to understand concepts such as “spheres
of influence.”
Students can use outline maps to compare and
contrast land areas and bodies of water. They can also
analyze location and distances. They can explore such
questions as: How does the size of the United States
compare with the size of Australia? How close is the
southern tip of Chile to the South Pole?
without a clear picture of what those figures mean. A
resource map would clearly show students that (a) the
countries of the Middle East have the largest reserves,
and (b) some places in the world completely lack in
those resources.
A list showing Electoral College votes by state for
each presidential candidate gives the basic facts. A
map that uses color to show which states each candidate won expresses the election results in an effective
way. Using such maps for several elections, students
can readily see voting patterns emerge.
