Spotlight on Learning: Geography and Mapping Mini-Inquiry
As part of Mr. Porth’s Socials 9 class’s unit on mapping and geography, we began our mini-inquiry unit by asking, what good is a map?
As we explored the importance and benefits of maps in general, we also asked some related questions about what kinds of maps there are, and discussed some related skills associated with mapping such as understanding how latitude and longitude work and how we can take the kinds of measurements that could be used to create a topographic map.
