Last year during my practicum I ran an imaginative activity with my students using the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The goal was for students to create their own 3-6 SDG's about goals they wanted to reach by the time they graduated high school. These students were apart of a grade 9 geography class, this activity helped students visualize the importance of some goals and their timelines.

Creative Studying: Terminology Scavenger Hunt 

# data[].attributes.body
Last year during my first practicum, I was in a grade 9 geography class. Students had to study for an upcoming quiz and I wanted them to be able to enjoy studying. Therefore, I hid definitions of geographic terms all around the room and had students match them to the terms I gave them. This was a fun and competitive way for students to memorize terminology.

Creating and designing a map doesn't have to be boring! Ask students to create a map of their own personal imaginary world! This world can contain anything they want and can resemble anything! While ensuring students are gaining curricular knowledge of map dimensions, they can work their imagination to their advantage!

Option 2: Help the Teacher find her coffee!

Have students create a map of the school for someone who's never been there! The goal is to help the supply teacher find her coffee! Get creative all while ensuring a person unfamiliar with the school will be able to read your map and get to the coffee the fastest!

Before attempting this activity, students will have had to work with maps in the past and understand their vital components. To ensure they know this information, ask students to list things often found on a map and display them on the chalkboard/whiteboard as students give you the answers!

I always start my days with a minds-on game that gets students visualizing country locations. This game gives the students the shape of a country, and it is up to them to use the resources in the classroom (maps, phones, google etc.) to find out what country it is.

Similar to the lessons done in Chapter 3: Curiosity and Literacy, I would love to have a GIS specialist or cartographer come into my class as a special guest. This would give students the opportunity to view a wide variety of maps and expand their curiosity about the topic. This could also be applied to other topics within geography and contain additional guests such as climate activists, environmental planners, local farmers or an explorer!
