World Map Project
Last week my hard-working students and I finished work on our World Map Project, and it looks pretty great. I’m so proud of the students, who did a splendid job of drawing, painting, and labeling, despite the tedium and my control-freak tendencies. They did a great job.
On Tuesday we had a small get-together at the school to celebrate the project’s completion. It was humbling to realize just how grateful all the teachers are to have the map as a resource for teaching social studies and geography, and as a way to remember me even long after I leave. I’m just thankful I’ve been able to give the school an important teaching tool, and hopefully a new awareness and appreciation for the world.
We’re actually not quite done with the project yet; we’re also planning to add a map of Chuuk Lagoon next to the world map, to provide a more local focus. Hopefully we’ll be starting that in the next week or so.
And now for your enjoyment…pictures!
Kirby,
The map looks fantastic. I’m impressed by the size and level of detail. Now I can see why it took so long to paint it. You and your students did a great job!
