This week our focus was on learning about different types of maps. The students read about different types of maps using a selection of books on EPIC. We worked on their summarizing skills using boxes and bullets. When they found the main idea, they wrote it in their own words in a box, and then used bullet points to write down any supporting details that they came across.
Once they finished researching different types of maps, they created handmade pamphlets to teach others about the different types of maps that they had researched. They printed out examples of the different maps, and then wrote short descriptions explaining each type. The students will share them with each other on Monday, so those who have not finished will need to do so over the weekend.
