Process

Step 1 Pick a classroom: With your partner, decide which classroom in Brady you are going to design.

Step 2 Choose roles:

Designer- creates the map and labels the lines of latitude and longitude, the compass rose, and the cardinal directions.

Key Maker- decides which pieces of furniture are going to be represented on the map, creates a key containing symbols to represent the furniture, and draws the symbols on the map.

Question Creator- creates thoughtful questions about your map that require the key, cardinal directions, and lines to answer. These questions should be written neatly on note cards with the answers on the back.

Step 3 Research: As a team, you will research maps using the resources located in the resource section of this site.

Step 4 Get to work: Using the information that you have found, get to work on accomplishing the tasks for your role.

Step 5 Testing: Were you successful as topographers? Share your map and questions with another pair of students to see if they can read your map and figure out which room you designed.
