Learning Goals
Students will be able to interpret map features including legends, scale, compass rose, and labels to trace a historical figure’s route accurately on an atlas page.
Students will be able to gather and compare primary and secondary sources about a historical figure to identify relevant evidence about that person’s journey.
Students will be able to develop evidence-based claims about a historical figure’s journey using map details and source evidence.
Students will be able to collaborate with peers during critique and revision to improve atlas captions, symbols, and labels based on feedback.
Products
Historical Figure Investigation Notebook
A research notebook showing the student’s map analysis, source notes, question development, and evidence-based thinking about one historical figure’s journey. It documents raw notes, comparisons of sources, and a short individual explanation of what the evidence suggests.
Source-Supported Historical Atlas Page and Gallery Presentation
A paired atlas page that traces one historical figure’s journey with accurate map tools, source-based captions, and a short presentation explaining the team’s conclusions and limitations. The presentation must show how individual evidence from each partner was combined into a shared interpretation.
