Why use Sketch Maps?
Students form a better spacial connection when
they have to draw it themselves!
The PURPOSE is spacial reasoning – not
“perfection”! This is new to most students.
Be sure to have the students reflect on the spacial
reasoning aspects at the end of the activity!

Bringing the map alive…
…I have hitherto said but little in relation to the fertility of the soil on my route
because that part of it lying east [of] the mountains has in two or three
instances been described by gentlemen who have travelled over the country for
that express purpose and further because the perfect sameness in the quality of
the soil and its productions enabled me to describe them altogether and that in
but few words. From this place to Plumb point on the river Platt, the proportion
of arable land (which is almost entirely confined to the valleys of the mountains)
is so inconsiderable that the whole country (so far as my observations extended)
may be considered of no value for the purpose of agriculture. The surface
generally either exhibits a bed of sand or a light coloured barren earth, which is
in many places wholly destitute of the least semblance of vegetation….
Letter from William H. Ashley to General Henry Atkinson, 1825

Carefully consider:
• the sub topics that we discussed with the web (or a web your PLC
created)…how can you bundle the content into meaningful “chunks” to help
with students’ ability to recall the information.
• the number and placement of Readiness v. Supporting Standards
• how you are integrating the processes.
• how you are providing opportunities for your students to transfer their
knowledge in new and varied contexts. (consider using your warm ups)
