6B1-Group+Project

This activity has three parts.

Part A:

 * 1) Download the MrSID viewer from the American Memory site. This is necessary to view the full detail of the map. @http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/help/compression.html
 * 2) Use the SEA method to analyze the June 8, 1944, HQ Twelfth Army Group situation map. @http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/maps/wwii/index.html
 * 3) Post your small group's SEA worksheet to your group's page on the wiki.

Part B:

 * 1) Review some of the other maps in the series of WWII Military Situation maps.
 * 2) Use the discussion area for your small group on the wiki to answer the following questions about the series of maps:
 * How can this series of maps be used in the classroom?
 * What prior information would be necessary for students to use these maps effectively?
 * Would you use these maps in your classroom? Why or why not?

Part C:

 * 1) Although maps may be typically thought of as social studies resources, they can be used in other areas as well. On the wiki, brainstorm ideas with your group for using maps in multiple subject areas. Be as creative as you can. Provide links to maps if possible, but you may share ideas even if you can’t find a specific online resource to match the idea.
