This interdisciplinary packet of materials on mapping is intended for grades 7-12. The lessons are organized around themes: location, navigation, information, and exploration. Each lesson has an introductory text and two main activities. Students learn basic mapmaking and map-reading skills and see how maps help answer fundamental geographic questions. The packet contains two posters that illustrate the development of mapping complete with a time line. Included in the packet are four activity sheets with several suggested activities, a teaching guide, and evaluation sheet. A vocabulary list accompanies each activity sheet. The activity sheets are entitled: (1) "What else is here?"; (2) "How do we know where we are?"; (3) "How do we know where we're going?"; and (4) "Where do we go from here?" Contains 42 references.
