This time instead of writing about the characters and the plot we actually mapped where our character went in the story. The students used three important parts of a map: compass, title, and map key to create a map of the story. Our first attempt did not work as well as expected. After reflecting about what the purpose of a map is the students realized that they needed to try again. The second mapping effort was amazing. We compared our first and second attempts and we were very proud of the effort thought, time and expertise we displayed. The map keys use symbols to represent places on the farm where Rosie walked. They were clear and easy to follow.
We realized that it was a circular map much like the stories we have been reading by Laura Numeroff. Love this transdisciplinary approach to learning in the classroom!
