Map Drawing.—The easiest portion of Europe to draw is the peninsula of Spain and Portugal. Have the pupils draw this. Name the bounding waters and the rivers, and locate the capitals.
On an outline map of Europe, write in the names of the surrounding waters, the seas, gulfs, bays, and straits. Next the names of mountains, rivers, lakes, and countries may be neatly printed in. Capital cities may be properly represented. Several lessons may be profitably given to the development of such a map.
