[LM_NET] Middle School Atlas Lesson

["Holly L. Roge" <hroge@WI.RR.COM>]

Hi,

 

I have a teacher who would like to do a lesson where we do a comparison
between the paper atlas and the online atlas.  I've been trying to think of
ways to make this more "interesting and fun" for the students" rather than
simply a compare and contrast paper.

 

The only thing I've come up with so far is doing index cards of places to
search for and comparing the two sources.   To make matters worse, the
classroom set of atlases she has does not contain map coordinates.I thought
about doing a search based on map coordinates.  The set is poor to say the
least.

 

Your ideas are appreciated!
