Mapping Project Guidelines
This is the information for the mapping project I did with my Grade 8 students at the start of the year.
I teach in a Project Based Learning program and this project was one of the ways students explored their first major question "Who am I and where do I fit in?"
This section of the project ties into Social Studies and English curriculum. Students created a shared Google Map where they got a better sense of their local, provincial, national, and international community by summarizing news stories on the map weekly. Students also explored this question at later stages by writing memoirs, autobiographical "fraction" poetry, and setting up a darkroom where they created images from their environment.
