These words are all centered around the geography of the world. Often in elementary education, social studies are not one of the main subjects that is studied in the classroom, meaning that when students find themselves needing to use these words, it can be difficult to remember their meaning or spelling. By creating a geographical word wall, students have something to refer back to when they need to use these terms. Additionally, these words are all part of our common vocabulary, meaning they are just as beneficial to know outside of the classroom as well.

1. Student-mapping. Students can write each of these words down, creating a map where they have to draw arrows and make connections from word-to-word, referencing this wall for visuals and spelling. For example, students can connect all of the water-related terms, the USA terms; etc.

2. Cross- Curricular Sentence building. Students can refer to this wall when writing these words in the social studies context, since they are not frequently taught. If they need to remember how to spell them, they can take a quick glance for reference.

3. Flashcards. This wall can be used as the base for students to create flashcards, if we are focusing on terms and their definitions.

4. We can pull down the classroom map, and students can refer to these terms as we try to locate where they are or could occur on the map!

5. Since there are some missing letters, students can work together to try to fill in the WHOLE word wall! The first group that fills the whole thing out gets a prize.
