Introduction Ohio academic content standards tell us that students should be able to use the knowledge of geographic locations, patterns and processes to show the interrelationship between the physical environment and human activity, and to explain the interactions that occur in an increasingly interdependent world. This week-long resource unit will help students understand the skills required to read and create maps for a variety of purposes. This unit is filled with hands-on activities to better the mastery of map skills.

Objectives Students will use a map to find given locations. Students will identify components of a map, such as title, key, compass, and symbols. Students will identify and describe the landforms, climate, vegetation, population, and economic characteristics.

Objectives Con’t Students will use a compass rose and cardinal directions to describe the relative direction of places.

Vocabulary/Concepts Map Map Key Landforms Plateau Mountain Valley River Lake

Activity #2 Continued When the class starts receiving the Flat Stanley’s back place them on a map to see where Stanley has traveled. Discuss as a class where Stanley has all traveled and if he had been at one place more than once.

Activity #3 Using a map grid, have the children design a map of an imaginary country including all the required symbols: Compass Rose Key Grid labels Title One water source Five cities Three different landmarks

Activity #4 Read aloud Introducing Landforms and discuss as a class. Have children make a flip book of the various landforms (mountains, valleys, plains, rivers, etc) using various materials.

Activity #5 Provide students with a map of their city. Have the students use coordinates to determine locations of important places in their city. Have the students describe the relative direction of various places in the city from their school

Activity #7 Have students create a fire escape plan for their houses with their parents. Students will draw their plan. Students will explain their fire escape route to the class.
