Abstract	Teachers of social studies, foreign language, science, and journalism will find these learning activities useful in integrating "The New State of the World Atlas" (Simon and Schuster, 1984) into their curriculum. The book is organized into three sections. The first section uses an area studies approach. Activities focus on geopolitical and cultural groups of nations, including Latin America, South Asia, East Asia, Western Europe, the Islamic world, French-speaking nations, newly industrializing countries, and Africa. Stereotypes, similarities and differences, and interrelationships among the nations are explored. The activities in the second section deal with the issues of human rights, labor, rich and poor nations, refugees, separatist movements, the arms race, global environmental problems, and forms of power. In the last section students apply research skills to the "Atlas" as a whole. All the activities involve the use of more than one map and are structured to reinforce higher level cognitive skills. Students compare, analyze, and ask questions that lead to further study in other sources. The guide concludes with student handouts to be used in the activities. (RM)
