Synopsis

The perfect way to become a geography wiz kid is by experiencing lots of map-making activities. Beginning with the key elements of a map, students construct classroom maps, school maps, maps of their neighborhood, and finally a map of North America with its countries and landforms. They interview family members about migration stories, become environmentalists as they study about land use in their state, and they do lots of writing along the way.
