To integrate map building into our classrooms, we would have them make a map of their neighborhood or surrounding community. They could see where each building is placed.
Also, we could make a map of important landmarks, like the White House, the Liberty Bell, among others. Students would be able to visually see where each of these important places are in relation to others
