The Little Red Fort

Listening to fictional stories can provide a basis for understanding one’s own environment. Ways to portray an environment can include photos or words or in this case, with a map. After listening to the story, The Little Red Fort by Brenda Maier, the students will design and construct their own play fort that will stand on its own. They then will create and label a map showing the area where their fort will be located. This lesson has adaptations for diverse learners (ELLs).
