Geography Skills and Tools Assessment

In this eighth-grade American history class, students focus on geography skills by learning about latitude and longitude. They apply these skills to plot recent hurricanes on maps. Using an active board, students compare their plots with the teacher's map for instant feedback, allowing them to correct any mistakes. This interactive approach helps students understand geographical concepts and improve their mapping skills.
