This Hand is My Land Project

Students have been working on a project where they are designing an island based on the shape of their hands.  They need to include map features such as a key and compass rose, as well as a variety of landforms.  The children have had two full class periods to work on the projects in class, starting with a rough draft.  Remaining work needs to be completed at home with final projects due September 3.  Each child should have directions and a scoring guide in their binder behind the social studies tab.  I have also provided each child with final copy paper.  They may use their social studies books for help.  Here are some kids hard at work!
