This Project Based Learning idea was a hit with my elementary students! They loved diving into map skills and landforms and, of course, burying their own treasure! This is a great way to introduce PBL activities in an engaging way. This PBL resource includes rubrics and step-by-step directions. A great way to assess map skills in your 21st Century classroom!
This is an activity that I would use when students are learning about perspective and their location in the world. This activity also incorporates other engaging worksheets for younger students to learn about landforms that make up our earth. I would use this activities when teaching about geography concepts in the classroom.
