[blindkid] Geography anyone?

[Pat Renfranz]

I have a ninth grader who will be taking World Geography this year. Lots of
reading and producing, both maps and other graphics. The textbook has
Tiger-produced graphics. She¹ll have a 2-volume tactile atlas from APH (if
it¹s the one I¹m thinking of, it¹s not too hot),  the Princeton Braillists
atlas which is terrific but low-scale, and a tactile globe. On worksheets,
we will get all the required graphics made or modified.

I¹m wondering what clever ideas might be out there to help her learn this
material (entirely tactile), especially when completing assignments. When
she had map assignments in US History, it was REALLY slow to do (hours!),
and she had to make many maps on her part, in order to complete a 1-page,
1-hour print assignment.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
