This world map is 13 feet wide by 8 feet tall. When teaching history, I find it very important to try to always make sure my students not only know when we are talking about, but also where we are talking about. I have always been bothered trying to point out locations on some piddly 3X4 foot map. That will no longer be a problem. I figure we can also clear the desks aside every once in a while, and my class can play some fun map games.Good Day to You, Sir

LOVE, love, love your wall map. That is awesome!
I've been using a large world map that I got from some commercial enterprise several years ago, so it's not as pretty as yours. I do enjoy sending my English students up to the map to find countries, major rivers, anything geographical that we encounter in the literature. Most of them get the "deer-in-the-headlights" look as they search, such as one looking earlier this week for the Euphrates in Africa. But then, this is South Carolina.
I would love to have a map like that. Good job on getting it. My wall map features Europe post WWII with E/W Germany etc. Not too cool for WWI. I got a world map from a commercial company. It works OK.
