-A blank compass rose

-A hierarchy of geographical locations

-A blank map and word bank for oceans and continents

-A blank map of the US and bodies of water

-Instructions for different labeling and shading of the US map

-Awareness of Alaska and Hawaii as states outside of the continental US

-A blank map and word bank for Canadian territories

-Geographical/globe terms map including prime meridian, hemispheres, latitude, longitude and equator

Can be done whole group, small group, individually. Use as review, preview or just for fun!

Great for end of the year activities, back to school, after state testing work and more. Model alongside the students to strengthen your understanding. It can also be chunked to fit different needs of students.
