Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, 
"What Did You Do in School Today?"

Ask them.......

• How good was your map in terms of size, shape, and distances?
• Did you remember where all the continents and oceans are?
• What countries were you most proud of remembering to include?
• Why physical features (land features or water features were you most proud of remembering to include?
