The student becomes a cartographer by first researching and then adding physical and political information to a blank map. Full directions are given for adding information on cities, rivers, lakes, mountains, special features, borders, latitude and longitude, state flower, state bird, state tree etc. The map can then be published independently or added to report or presentation. Grades 4-6.

Personal Timeline has the students create a booklet/timeline that depicts in pictures, text, and numbers the 8 most important events in their lives. They describe these events by drawing them, writing about them, and placing them chronologically on a timeline.
