Lesson plan
Mapping a Cookie: Applying the 5 Themes of Geography and DOGSTAILS
GeoLiteracy
Description
Maps are a human representation of space. The best maps utilize essential mapping components so others can easily "read" a map. Additionally, every map conveys a story about spatial relationships and knowing the 5 Themes of geography can help us understand the “story.” In this lesson students will apply what they have learned through two prior lessons: DOGSTAILS and the 5 Themes of Geography. Using food as a motivator, students will map a cookie.Duration
