Alternatively, give students a blank sheet of paper and ask them to draw a map from memory and label where they think the cities in their collaboration are located, along with any additional cities and countries. This activity can serve as an informal geography assessment for the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. Add these maps to student portfolios. plittere https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/181991104 2017-08-22 01:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/181991104 World Geography Games: Countries Advanced — Students test their knowledge of countries around the world with this online game.

This would need to be included with an explicitly taught geography lesson.

Additionally, students will be able to research a location and pin the locations with descriptions on Google Earth. https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182106031 2017-08-22 15:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182106031 Creative Commons plittere https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182130159 2017-08-22 16:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182130159 plittere https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182481020 2017-08-24 02:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/plittere/gspreprogram2017/wish/182481020
