Ancient Maps
It is the second time around for third grade ancient maps. Third graders looked at old and new maps, comparing and contrasting what they look like and how they are made. Students developed an imaginary place and created a map with title, compass rose, key, landforms and water. Many students chose to make their maps look old by ripping the edges and using watercolor and even coffee to make them look stained and burnt!
