Ahoy, mateys! Have you ever wanted to join the crews of Jack Sparrow or Long John Silver as they search for buried treasure? Come learn how to read a treasure map and then create your own! In this class, students will learn basic map reading skills, such as directional orientation, reading a legend or key, and the meanings of other common symbols found on maps. Once we have those skills, we will practice our knowledge by creating our own treasure maps to share with the class. The class will be a mix of teacher-led instruction, independent creation time, and student discussion. By the end of class, students should have the basic structure of a map and know how to read it. Depending on each learner's creative goals, they may not finish their maps in class. They are welcome to continue working on their maps afterward to make them as detailed as they wish.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents may wish to help their learner's "antique" their maps. You can cut the edges with scissors or burn the edges with a lighter to make them look properly authentic. *We will NOT be doing this in the class.*
Supply List
Students will need drawing paper, a ruler, and colored pencils, crayons, or markers to build their maps.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have nearly two decades of experience as an outdoor guide and avid adventurer! Reading maps is integral to what I do and it's an important skill for anyone to have, especially those who wish to explore. Growing up in North Carolina, I was surrounded by the many myths and legends of Blackbeard and other pirates of the colonial age. From Shipwrecked to The Goonies to Pirates of the Caribbean, I've been inspired by tales of adventure and the archetypal search for buried treasure.
