Description
If you are looking for fun and engaging activities to introduce American history topics like the American Revolution, the Civil War, Westward Expansion, and Immigration to America in your U.S. History class, these mapping games are perfect for you!
Based on the Urban Game format, the teacher will read from a script, guiding students through the development of the events leading to the main event in each era. Students will complete specific tasks and will draw a map of America, adding a key and details as the script is read. They will see how specific events impacted the era in American History and how the country quickly changed as a result.
Includes:
Teacher Script
Image of completed map
Debriefing notes
Suggested follow-up questions and activities
Skills Practiced:
Listening
Mapping

Topics Covered:

No answer keys are included since these activities are based on the completion of tasks and listening. A completed map is included on the teaching guide to help you see where students should be headed in their task, but individuality is important.
Assessing this activity can come from attempting to complete the tasks, listening and following directions, and participating in discussion or writing after the activity is completed. Assessments should NOT be based on students accurately completing all details in the script. The lesson is more about how events in the Age of Immigration progressed to change America.
