Activity Overview

Students can demonstrate their knowledge about a particular city, state, or country by creating a spider map that highlights important facts and features of the location. Teachers may wish for students to focus on several important features such as where the location is in the world, population, capital, flag, language, geography, major religions, historic achievements, famous sites, resources, animals, and customs. Students can research the location using school resources and use a spider map graphic organizer to keep track of information as they complete their research. They should include landscapes, towns, or cityscapes that resemble their country, symbols, flags, and other designs and items relevant to the country.
