Let's Map It! Maps & Projections Interactive Notebook, Includes PowerPoint
By Geography and Math Made Easy
Students will become familiar with 11 maps and 4 map projections. This is an interactive notebook activity that students can use throughout the year to refer to. It is suggested that students complete 3-4 per class period. This is more than simply reading the maps, but asking questions that will have students become familiar with and be able to recognize and make connections. This lesson asks connection questions such as: What does the word "plat" mean? Why do you think this is called a plat map? What does this map use to communicate information? Why would this map be referred to as a locator map? If you wish, you could modify this lesson to be a carousel activity instead of an interactive notebook activity, placing the maps around the room and having students move from one station to the next. Modify to meet your students' needs.
