be in two lessons) awareness to children. Children will learn about maps and
how to use them but they will understand why we use them
and why they are important. They will learn the history
behind them and be able to read a map. This is a lifelong
skill that every person should have. This aspect is addressed
through the entire lesson because it is expressing why maps
are so important.

from their imagination not their life experiences. If it were a
lesson pulling from life experiences it would be hard
because not all children have the same home life.
