World War II MAPS SEA: [|WENDYANDJACKIEWORLWARIIMAPSEA%20Worksheet.pdf] [|WendyOresick]

These specific maps would most likely be used in a history class teaching about WWII or geography. You could also do a math lesson with these to figure out the distances that troops marched.

Before using these maps, students would need a prior knowledge of WWII.

We would use the maps to help improve content area literacy which could be tied to Reading Fluency, Comprehension and Interpreting and Analyzing Informational Text.

Maps could be used in math classes for latitude/longitude, measuring lengths (miles for example) for the length traveled to each area or campaign wheher it was on foot or in vehicles.

Students can even improve their technological literacy by being able to compare teh land covered during the War and what it looks like today using Google Maps and Google Earth.

Students could even use the maps in a presentation through Theater for speaking/listening and public speaking through creating a play or Documentary based on the maps and use it in presentation.

In math class, we use maps as scale drawings. We use the scale on the maps to figure out how far apart 2 cities are. I would personally not use these particular maps in my classroom, as I need ones with different details and the kids haven't yet learned about World War II when they get to me in 7th grade, but there are several good maps that I use. I have the kids do a road trip activity across the United States. They start at Philadelphia and have to go to San Fransisco, stopping at three other cities along the way. They have to figure out the total distance, how many hours/days it would take them. Not only is this a great math lesson, but a great geography lesson as well.

5-A-1 EDISON RECORDING: In The Little Red Schoolhouse[|WENDYANDJACKIEsound_recording_analysis_worksheet.pdf] -We chose the song In the Little Red Schoolhouse because we thought kids could relate to some of what the artists were talking about and can tie it into the early 1900s with stories and social studies of that time frame. -5 ways the recording could be used in the class room: 1. Social Studies--this could be used to talk about music from the 1920's as a lead into the roaring 20's. 2. First day of school activity: Have students talk about their memories so far of school. 3. Compare and contrast life in the 20's compared to now. 4. Language Arts--have students create their own songs about their school experiences. 5. Music class--this would make a very cute concert piece.
