**Maps: Helping Ms. Murray Find Her Way ERIN MURRAY**

My unit will introduce what maps are, what globes are, and how to use both. The students will explore Google Earth to see where the United States, Virginia, and their Elementary School are on the Earth. The students will learn how to locate the United States and Virginia on a map and on a globe. The students will learn how to locate Washington D.C and Richmond, Virginia on a United States map. The student will also learn how to read the various map symbols and how to use the map legend. Finally, students will use a digital camera to take pictures of the office, cafeteria, gym, playground, library, reading computer lab, math computer lab, music, and art. The students will use these pictures to make a class map in Kidspiration.
