Teacher writes down all the information the students brainstorm on the board or chart paper. When the students finish, ask each group to share with the class their findings. With a map of the town, in this case Chico, California, the teacher points out each element and discusses WHY each is necessary to the map. Turn to your partner, whisper to them if you have an idea of what the purpose of the legend is. Tell your partner.
Groups switch maps, so that each child has a new map on their desk.
Teacher tells the students that they have to really listen if they want to win in this game. Teacher continues until the students have found all five on this map. Students switch maps, repeat the game.
