Discover & use different types of maps to analyze and draw conclusions about places. Create different versions of a map of your home town or favorite locale to tell the story of the place.
Class experience
What do you think of when you think of a map? Does it tell you how to get someplace? Does it tell you pollution levels? Does it tell you what people lived in that location hundreds of years ago? Every map is made with a purpose, to analyze a certain type of information. These maps can be useful in describing specific issues in specific places, or even tell some kind of story. Each week, we will look at a particular type of map using a specific city, country, or region as an up-close...
Students will use geographic vocabulary. Students will use maps for varying purposes. Students will draw conclusions based on maps. Students will analyze information to determine meaning/historical impact about a place. Students will create 3 renderings of the same place using different types of maps, in order to tell the viewer a story or narrative about a place. Students will present their maps and describe their choices.
I have a Master's Degree in Adolescent Social Studies, and I did a large part of my thesis in geography education. Geography is the most unrepresented social studies subject in the United States and I hope to show the current day relevancy of the topic in this class.
Student will need to create maps; this could be done digitally using basic software like MS paint (or something more complex if they like), or simply printing out maps from Google or Wikipedia and drawing renderings of specific types of map using any art materials they prefer.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class will discuss climate change as well as war/conflicts in regards to the shaping of the world.
National Geographic and the New York Times are resources for this class. I may provide articles for optional reading.
