Google My Maps:
Please take THIS form.
Key Take-Aways:
Use for Math: Polygon tool, ruler--ratios, perimeter, area etc. (To get out of ruler press escape)
Use for Social Studies: Plot battles of the Civil War, causes etc.
English ELA: Plot places characters travel to, or scenes from a novel that is based in a real town.
Can share Maps just like you would anything else.
Add pictures and descriptions.
Using Google Forms with My Maps:
Make a Google Form and make sure there is 1 question related to location.
Have students take the form.
Open the spreadsheet where the answers from the form are found and make a "last column" question and fill in the answer as a period (all the way down the column).
Open a New My Map and then choose IMPORT. Find the "Response sheet" from the Google Form and import that. It'll ask you which question is the location question. Click through all of those and then share this map with your students and ask them to fill out the additional question. For example: break your students into groups, have each group list three important facts about a pre-assigned battle that they previously plotted. Or, have everyone add a fact about the town they grew up in and how it relates to something you're teaching. (List the natural resource where you grew up that your town could provide the world..)
