Map Skills Sub Plan (No Prep): Thematic Map Detective, Grades 5-8 Geography

Students play map detective in a made-up valley. Four small thematic maps (a shading map of rainfall, a dot map of where people live, a symbol map of farm products and a flow map of people moving) hold the clues. Students read each map with its legend, decide which one map answers each question (or that none can), and then combine two maps to solve a pattern.
