Create a Torn World Map Activity | FUN Continents and Oceans PBL | Google
This student-favorite activity challenges your class to create torn world maps! The fun and engaging exercise helps students remember the continents and oceans by focusing on details like shape, location, and scale; the goal is NOT to create a perfect replica. They must examine a map to tear out the shape of each continent – NO drawing outlines or using scissors allowed! Then, they label the continents, oceans, and lines on a globe to create their world maps. A fill-in rubric makes grading easy! Finished torn world maps make great examples of student work for your classroom and hallway displays! Everything you need is included!
