III. Description of unit before project
A. In our 36-week unit, students are introduced to what a map is and the basic things
almost all maps have (title, map key, and compass rose). Students learn the eight
directions on a compass rose and that a map key has symbols found on a map that
stands for real items. Students work with one map a week and learn how to read
the map and answer two questions every day about the specific map we are
working on. We discussed why it is important to be able to read a map. The maps
start simple with a bedroom and get harder as the unit continues. Students learn
about different states in the United States and the oceans and continents around
the world.
