Thank You Nicole!




Thank you Nicole for sharing your experiences working for the United Nations with us. Your stories and photographs will forever be imprinted in my memory (and I'm sure the memories of all the students). Your work with refugees is inspiration to all of us that we can indeed make a mark - and work toward making the world a better place!

2nd Period Civics: Don't forget to comment on one of two websites I asked you to visit. In your comment, relate what you've learned from the website to what you learned from our guest speaker, Nicole Brudos. You may post your comment here or on the Sierra Leone post.

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1. Create a scavenger hunt: Give students a map with a key and have them find different landmarks or features on the map. For example, you might ask them to find a park, a school, and a river. This is a fun way to get students engaged with maps and help them learn how to read legends. 2. Make your own map: Have students create their own maps of their school or neighborhood. They can include symbols for different features like buildings, parks, and roads. This is a great way to get students thinking about the different elements that go into making a map. 3.

Most of my students had a blast creating their maps. Of course, a couple students were anxious; worried their continents wouldn't look nice. With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials. I let my students use any color construction paper they wanted as long as they selected two different colors.  The results were fantastic! Grab your copy of the ...
