Teacher's Prompt: "Good morning, explorers! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey through history, and we will need your imagination! But wait, before we get started, I have a curious object here with me..."
Show the class a large, colorful map or a simple treasure map with intriguing symbols and landmarks.
Engage Their Curiosity: "What do you think this map is showing us? Is it leading to treasure, a mysterious place, or maybe even a hidden secret?"
Group Discussion: Allow students to share their thoughts. Encourage them to use descriptive words about what they see on the map.
Connect to History: "Maps have been used for a very long time! They help people find their way, just like this map. Today, we will learn about how maps are created and how people have used them throughout history."
Instructions: "Now that we’ve thought about what maps do, it’s your turn! I want you to create your very own treasure map using your imagination. Think about places that are important to you, maybe your home, school, or a favorite park."
Materials Needed: Paper, crayons, and markers.
Wrap-up: "Great job, explorers! Just like in our stories, maps help tell us important tales about the world. They show us where we’ve come from and where we can go next. As we continue learning about maps today, remember how powerful they are in discovering new places and adventures!"
