Where in the world...?
Be honest with yourself, how well do you know the world? Maybe you’re an expert, but probably not so well.
With one partner (or by yourself), your task is to draw a map of the world. You may use any visual aid you want, but you may not trace your map. Make sure you include continents and oceans!
Once you have drawn your map, brainstorm any historical events you can think of. A freebie example of an event you might consider placing on your map: “In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, _______________________________”. Draw this voyage on your map and label it! Can you add any others? You may also add modern events that are relevant to the world today.
Homework: Blog post! Assess your ability to draw your map. How would you grade yourself? Was it easier than you thought it would be? Harder? What does this say about your knowledge of the world? We will do this activity again at the end of the year..what actions can you take to do better next time?
Also make sure you've emailed me your blog link so I can check homework!
