GeoLiteracy
Lesson Plan Content
Description: 
As students begin to learn about the world, they often want to know more about cities—those near and far from them. In this lesson, students will research a city to develop a mental map of what economic activities and recreational features create the unique qualities of this location. Students will then create a brochure to advertise the area to others.
