My Project
Our school looks out on a CTA Red Line station, which in theory gives our families access to a robust transit system in the world-class city of Chicago. Public transit is eco-friendly, and important to the development of a healthy Chicago. Knowing local geography is a valuable skill, and some of our students could use some inspiration to learn about geography.
These transit maps will pique the interest of our students, encouraging them to become curious about the city that they call home.
By simply displaying these transit maps and playing the CTA game with students, kids will learn more about the city around them. The colors and lines of the CTA are truly beautiful, and will add flair to our classroom. This will be a fun and student-centered way to learn about geography. Learning about the CTA is important for all city residents, but especially for our special needs students. Knowing this system can unlock the potential for travel and employment opportunities across the city later in life.
I plan on getting the posters laminated so they can last for years to come. I can't wait to see the students looking at, and talking about, the CTA maps and game!
