Our Class Map

It all started when we read about the first Americans coming across a land bridge between Asia and North America. A land bridge between Asia and North America!? our brains immediately thought. We were perplexed. What was this land bridge and where is it now? A few friends in our class had read in the past about a land mass called "Pangaea." We wondered why and how North America and Asia got seperated? We made a huge map of the world. The picture below shows our first draft of Pangaea!

Look at the amazing Pangaea Charlotte and some friends made above!

This is a picture of our map that we drew and cut out and got laminated and then put on the blue paper!

There were groups of 2 and each group had their own continent to make. All of the continents had to be a different color. We used the compass rose to locate where we should put the continents.

The compass rose was colored to make it look more interesting.
   
Sofie, Kaitlyn, Melani, Nikki, Tyler and Case wrote the oceans on the map. It was very hard to make Asia and Europe because they had to connect. Write any comments below to let us know how you like it!

Thank you for listening,
Nikki and Sofia
