Maps/Cartography

Maps can be used in many ways across the curriculum. The traditional use still apart of this, but we can take it a step further with our students today in the digital world. We can have them create with maps in the following ways:

• Create a tour of a time in history

• Create Google Lit trip from a story they are reading

• Create a tour of their city

• Create a tour of their favorite vacation spot

• Create a tour of the route of the Crusades

• Create tours of historical sites

• Create tours of outer space or the depths of the ocean

• Create tours of the locations of galleries or landscapes of your favorite paintings

• Create tours showing different types of geographic features
