The Giant Traveling Map at Harper’s Choice MS

July 17th, 2015

Students at Harper’s Choice Middle School this past school year enjoyed a deeper understanding of Asian geography using a giant traveling map donated by National Geographic.

The Giant Traveling Maps, produced by National Geographic Live, tour the country’s schools, bringing hands- and feet-on geography education to hundreds of thousands students each year. Designed to promote geographic literacy by igniting interest in geography, the maps and accompanying activities incorporate physical movement and games to teach students place names, physical geography, and cultural geography as well as map reading skills.
