What´s Up? South! World Map (2x3') Folded Paper

The main map is a Van der Grinten projection, which is a fair compromise between preservation of actual shapes, with less distortion of relative sizes than the Mercator projection. Details show major cities, railways, rivers, peaks (with elevations in meters), and ocean depths (also shown in meters), and each nation is clearly distinguished with color tints. Mountainous regions are indicated with shaded relief. For the scale of the map, the size of the print is larger than most other world maps, a feature which makes the labels easier to read. Clocks across the top show the world's approximate time zones. Because it omits the Antarctic region, the map shows the Equator top of center. Whats Up? South! offers a startling way to view the world, and a great way to shake people up and help them question their assumptions. For more details on the What's Up? South!

I post this map in my classroom to turn my students' world upside down on the first day of classes. When they first come in, many hands shoot up in the air with great confidence eager to exclaim, "Mrs. J....the map is upside down!" For these big-eyed children cherish the moment when they can tell a teacher that s/he is wrong about something. And, of course, I'll say with a puzzling look on my face, "Is it really?" I'll then take the map down from the wall and walk around the room ever so slowly so they can take a closer look. Then I'll hear some distant, quiet voices sheepishly say things like, "But the words are right side up," and "How come?" and "Why is that?" And that ladies and gents is how I began a year of enriching inquiring minds in the classroom, increase curiosity, and keep eleven year olds engage for 180 days! "What's Up? South" is my "road map" to teaching inquisitive children.

I'm a map geek- I love all sorts of projections and this is easy to read. It shipped quickly, which is impressive since it came from across the country. I got this for my boyfriend as a gift for our "paper anniversary," and he loved it too. It's been hanging on a wallpapered wall for over a year, adhered with command strips, and hasn't budged. I highly recommend it for any geography enthusiast.

Fiance is huge into taking things apart and seeing how they work. This map gives you a different perspective. It is only paper, so be sure to get it laminated. If it's a present, put it in a hard folder, then wrap it.

Makes people shift their paradigms. Have this on my cubical wall and it's fun to watch people as they realize it's backwards from what they expect.

Love the map!! It was a gift and it looks great. The only issue is that it came all folded up, so there's several creases in it.

It's made of paper. Considering the the price point, however, it's great. Useful in icebreaker activities, for example.

Fun, attention-grabbing conversation-starter. Great visual for my church's missionary display.
