General
In this lesson, students will review reading maps and will learn how to construct and use maps.
Learning objective
Students will be able to read, construct, and use maps which have a title and key.
Introduction
Students will review what a map is and look over a map of a park. Then they will be introduced to how they can easily make their own map and use it for a certain purpose. For example, a map of their classroom to create a new student seating arrangement.
Instruction
Students will read various maps by using the title and key to glean information. Then they will complete an activity to show them how to construct a simple map using drag and drop. They will discuss with a partner about how to use a map for a certain purpose once it has been constructed. Students will be given a task to construct a map of the location of their choice and then use it to help them achieve something. For example, make a map of a backyard in order to determine where to place items for a birthday party at home.
Quiz
Review maps with 10 questions.
Closing
Students will spin a wheel and then match the place. Then they will provide an example of some things that would be on a map that they would construct of the particular place.
