Mapping It Out: Social Studies Online Presentation

Mapping It Out: Social Studies Online

A great way to introduce 2nd graders to map skills would be to use this presentation. The visuals are inviting and the layout is easy to understand. This would be a terrific way to cover the basics on how to read a map. There is also a link to a website with interactive components.
