Description

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).
