Students are able see the locations mentioned in informational text and stories from the perspective of their state, country, and in the world. They love to find different cities and states they know from their relatives and places they have visited in their lives.
Technological devices are great, but sometimes we need another visual representation of the world around us. The maps can be supplemented with resources like Google Earth or map apps, but this physical representation helps students gain perspective of their location in the great big world around them.
