This week Hilary taught her geography unit and worked with the students on understanding and using maps and all the components of a map and then had the students make their own maps, using everything that they had learned in the first 2 lessons. Letting the students do their own maps was a great activity and we got to really see their creativity at work and their actual interests through their maps and names of places on their maps.
I really enjoyed seeing Hilary teach because it gave me a chance to really observe how the students worked with one another and with Hilary as a whole. It was very interesting to just be observing for the week instead of actually interacting like a normal week.
