Cartographers Create in Mrs. G's Class

The students in Mrs. G's class have spent the last few weeks learning about maps. They culminated this learning by creating their own Maps of Imagination.

Each student chose a theme and then designed maps around that theme. Every map included a title, a map key, a compass rose, a map scale, and a grid to help locate places. Interesting map themes were magic, books, fashion, basketball, and frogs. The students used a rubric to earn their best scores. Their maps will be on display outside room 115. Stop by and enjoy.
