SUMMARY

KEY INFORMATION

In this Cornerstone, students will understand the importance of a map in helping people to identify places and to move from place to place. Students also understand that going from one place to another follows a pattern of selected directions. Following a project-based instructional model, students create their community maps and label important places. Using their community maps, students create itineraries to demonstrate their ability to follow directions to at least one place in their community. Finally, students participate in a class presentation.
