Our classroom comes to life when my students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities. Currently, our tangible materials for exploring geographic concepts include textbook maps and a wall map. Flat maps simply don't provide the visual representation students need to clearly envision our round world and understand its spatial patterns.
I want to capture the excitement and engagement of hands-on exploration of our world by using globes throughout the school year. Last year, I borrowed globes from wherever I could find them. My students buzzed with excitement! They were crowded around globes, noticing our location relative to other places, discovering hemispheres, latitude, longitude, time zones, and physical features.
Globes will help my students learn the geography skills they need to navigate their world and grow into global citizens.
