My students need dry erase world maps that adhere to each work station, so they can reference geographic relationships in each unit throughout the year!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are tremendous rising historians. In our 10th grade World History class, students challenge themselves to examine key historical events from multiple perspectives, evaluate and collect reliable evidence, and evaluate the choices of the past in order to make more informed choices in our present.
My students demonstrate each day a willingness to grapple with complex historical contexts in order to learn from those who have come before us.
CATsters are resilient and place a high emphasis on the value of education, as many of my students will be the first in their families to go to college.
My Project
As global citizens, we must be geographically literate! Due to budget cuts, my students no longer receive 9th grade history. Consequently, when they arrive in my World History, Culture and Geography course as 10th graders, many are unsure of major geographic features on a world map.
In order to learn from the history of global conflict and cooperation, we must be able to visually reference key places of interest!
While we start the year with a Historian's Boot Camp in which students must demonstrate basic map-reading skills, it would be a tremendous asset to have a DRY ERASE WORLD MAP on EVERY single work station! These maps would allow students to physically annotate and interact with a global map all year long and would be a tremendous reference as we study the ebbs and flows of human movement throughout modern world history!
