Introduction
Hello, boys and girls! You are listening to Mrs. Lunsford. Since we have been reading Treasure Island together in class, your library lesson will involve drawing a treasure map!
Instruction
Activities
1) Watch the video about drawing a treasure map.
2) Think about how you want your treasure map to look.
3) Draw your map. You may use the page that is in the packet your teacher gave you, or
you may use your own paper to draw on. Some ideas I have seen even use a brown
paper bag to draw the map on. You do not have to include a fancy border on your map like the one shown in the video. You do need to include five landmarks that will help show the position of the treasure, such as a creek, mountains, trees, large rocks, etc. You also need to mark where the treasure is and instructions for finding it.
4) Turn your map in to Mrs. Lunsford.
Assessment
You will turn your map in to Mrs. Lunsford, and when your class comes to the library, you will be able to share and talk about your map with the other students in your class. This will show that you have completed the assignment.
