Lesson 6 Overview
Lesson 6 Overview
During this lesson, we discussed how to use the tools on a map to be able to read it
accurately. We talked about map keys, grids, scales, and compass rose's, and how all of those
tools help us to be able to understand maps. We had a talk about how maps don't usually show
every little detail of a place, they typically just show the main parts. The students got an
opportunity to go outside to sketch a map of the playground. When their sketches were finished,
we came back inside and I modeled how they were going to make a map from their sketch using
construction paper. Then, I gave the students time to work on their maps. Finally, I brought
everyone back together to share their maps.
