My students need classroom maps to further enhance their understanding of the Global Studies content, which will in turn improve their scores on the Regents!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
How can you learn about how the European Explorers navigated our planet to discover unknown lands if you can not see what someone is talking about! Yes, we can look in the text book, but those maps are small and outdated! With classroom maps my student's will have maps they can interact with!
My students are 12 individuals who are diagnosed with Emotional Disturbances.
Coming from some of the toughest economic backgrounds in New York City, my students come in with little to no supplies. When they are doing classwork they have a hard time understanding geographic relationships from one country to another, and often times can not even locate countries on a map, due to a lack of maps over the course of their education. With my students primarily being visual learners, it is a great disadvantage to them that they do not have a set of classroom maps to illustrate the geographic relationships and geographic features that can be taught with a map. Rather than let my students go without, it is our job to provide them with new materials that will not only motivate them, but may get them to the next level of their education!
My Project
The materials that will be essential to improving my students understanding of geographic relationships from one country to the next as well as discovering how geographic features may impede or aid countries and civilizations throughout the world are:
1 Universal Map Essential Wall Map-World
1 Universal Map Primary Wall Map- Europe
12 Europe Map Chart
12 World Map Chart
1 Baumgarten's American Flag
1 World Study Pads
1 Creative Teaching Press Map Skills Ancient Civilization Workbook
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of Inner-City kids?
Do you want to show them that they can beat the odds? I am sure you do! The best thing you can give my students are educational materials such as in depth classroom maps that will give my students a fighting chance at the Regents! It is so frustrating as a teacher having students who do not understand the locations of countries on the map and how that influences their history. Be the one to give a map that changes lives!
