Origin of Map

After a thriller start to the UOI unit on India the students were all in anticipation as to what in store next in this topic. As one of the unit’s Lines of Inquiry is to identify your origin, the students had to research and find out where they actually come from and where do they belong.

This brought them to a conclusion of their identity and their origin. The children came up with their answers and still at awe what could be the next activity. Mapping skills is also one of the important aspects of this unit. So as the kids started to speak out their origin, the teacher started to call each student and make the student mark their origin on the map. The view of the map was spectacular as the each student plotted on the map using a string. The diversity of the class was seen so clearly over the map and the students understood different states of India and its significance.
