Using the visual learning tools that are important to this age group, students learn how the geography of Egypt has affected its history. In this project, students work in pairs to research geographical locations that are important in ancient and modern Egyptian history, and then they create an interactive map with "pop-up" features to share the information they have learned.
"My students were thrilled to have a new way to learn in social studies class. Students at all ability levels did more research and wrote better content than I expected."
