In this Xpeditions lesson, students explore maps in order to process and report information from a spatial perspective. Activities in this lesson engage students in development of map-reading and making skills, as well as whole class discussions about the patterns they noticed about their work.
Students will:
- create a map, including a key for the map’s symbols, to display presidential birthplace data; and
- draw inferences from, and answer questions about, the geographical information displayed in the map.
Xpeditions provides detailed directions for completing the lesson, suggestions for assessment and extension activities, and links to related handouts.
