    This week is Geography Awareness Week.  Using primary sources to map a story being read or a portion of history being studied is full of critical thinking skills, searching techniques and communicating with images practice.

    StoryMap JS is another option for mapping stories. It allows students to create maps that display locations in a slideshow-like format. Each location added to the story can include text, images, and hyperlinks. The best part is that students can add dates (optional) to the mapped locations to create a timeline and map combination. The link to this app is above but here is a video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttb4e9ob1pI  on how it works.  3 - 5    6 - 8    9 - 12    Art/Music    English/Language Arts    Library    Mathematics    Science    Social Studies/History    Technology    maps  s  tory mapping
