Map Quest | Map Skills Activity | Paper

This creative mapping activity takes the map skills students have learned and wraps them into a creative project that only takes moments to prep, but gets hours of engagement. Your students will get to argue why their map is the best through a writing task, too.

Students have been hired by a map-making company to develop maps for their archives. Students will have a choice of which maps they create.
