The students should answer no; this is a non-example. Ask the students, What can we do to fix this map with what we have learned about proper maps? (Simple question/response) a. Students should recognize that the map does not have a compass, symbols, or a legend. Have students give you examples to add, or have students come to the projector to add such symbols.

    3. Show Map #2 to the class. a. Ask, What coordinate is the water fountain at? b. Ask, Is the bathroom East or West of the library? c. Ask, Can someone give me directions to find my way to the elevator from the classroom? 4. Now, explain to the students that we will be creating group maps to find an object that you have placed around the school. (Cooperative groups) 5. Divide groups and pass out object locations with materials to build their maps. (Visual Aids) 6. Before students begin, show them the rubric. The assignment will get a total of 10 points. 7. Have students take 20 minutes to collaborate and create their group maps. 8. Once groups have had 20 minutes, pass out the self-assessments. Have the group self-assess their creations. 9. Collect all self-assessments. 10. Have students switch their maps. Depending on the group numbers, make sure each group switches once. 11. Allow groups to find their objects, they have 10 minutes. 12. Once all groups have returned with their objects, debrief the students about what their group excelled at, what they learned by reading someone elses map, and what they could have done differently while creating or finding maps. 13. Collect all maps to place in their portfolio with the rubric attached. Assessments: The students pre-assessment was using a class discussion. They were asked to add to the non-example to then classify as it as an example of a proper map. This activated their prior knowledge, learned in the previous lessons. The students post assessment will be the creation of their map. They will be graded using the rubric. Evaluation: The students will create a map using graph paper with 8/10 points attained from the rubric.
