Map My Room

Help me give my students large Post-it sticky easel pads, pencils, and crayons to help create a map on their own.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shorter's classroom raised $321

This project is fully funded

My Students

Students come from a variety of backgrounds including European, Hispanic, and African-American. There are over 80% males in my classroom and 15% females total in my classes. Classes are set up by rows and students are facing the front to look at the board. The classes are set up as mixed grade levels so 9th graders are in class with 8th graders as well as10th and 11th graders. Students who have experienced trauma but are committed to graduating.

My Project

Many students get confused about longitude and latitude on maps. Therefore, with this project, I am requesting large Post-it sticky easel pads, pencils, and crayons to help create a map on their own. Learning how to make a simple map can be applied to their real lives. When we apply relevance to their learning, they will retain the information longer. It is my hope they will take these geography skills and apply them to their lives later in life. More importantly, understanding geography helps us make sense of current and historical events, whether of economic, political, or social importance. Finally, studying geography builds important vocabulary and background knowledge about our country and world too.
