Why Use Mapping Activities to teach History? 

• Visual representation: Mapping allows students to visualize historical events and concepts, making them more engaging and memorable. This can help students understand the context of historical events and their significance.
• Critical thinking: Mapping activities require students to analyze information and make decisions about how to represent it on a map. This can help develop critical thinking and decision-making skills.
• Spatial awareness: Mapping activities require students to think about geography and spatial relationships, which can enhance their spatial awareness and understanding of the world.
• Interdisciplinary approach: Mapping activities can incorporate elements of geography, math, and art, making history lessons more interdisciplinary and engaging.
• Collaboration: Mapping activities can be done in groups, which promotes collaboration and teamwork skills.

Mapping activities can be a valuable tool in teaching history because they help students engage with the material in a visual and interactive way, while also developing critical thinking and spatial awareness skills.

This RESEARCH AND MAPPING packet is a new and engaging way to have students complete guided research either in print (interactive notebook) or digital (digital interactive notebook). Each set includes major events for the time period. Students will research and determine if each event is either foreign or domestic, then give a summary of the event. If the event has a location symbol, student will use the mapping guide to MAP It and create a map key. This would be great for a flipped classroom. THIS IS ALSO PART OF EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY MEGA BUNDLE!
