The Most Dangerous Map Project

Today we worked in groups of 4 and you were to start thinking
of 10 setting details that you will add to your map.

I will give you 1 more class on Wednesday, then it will be homework.

HOMEWORK:
Please finish the story questions #s 15-34 for Monday.

WHAT TO DO:

The Ship Trap Map was an activity assigned individually to students to be done both during and after reading the story. The first step for students was underlining any and all details that described the setting while reading The Most Dangerous Game. They reread this information and chose 10 setting details to place on their map. Then, they skimmed the text for more information on location and placement of the setting details. Once they had gathered all of their information, they were ready to begin the map. I suggested that they do a rough copy of detail placement. They created their maps with colored paper, colored pencils, markers, etc. After the maps were complete, students presented their maps to the class.
