Create a Torn World Map Project | Continents, Oceans, Lines on a Globe | Google
Students LOVE the challenge of creating a “torn” world map using only their hands, 2 sheets of paper & glue. They must tear out the shape of each continent without drawing outlines or using scissors or other tools. Then they must properly label the continents, oceans, and lines on a map. This fun & engaging exercise helps students memorize the world map by really thinking about the shape of each continents & the map’s scale; the goal is NOT to create a perfect replica. A fill-in rubric makes grading easy! Finished torn world maps are great examples of student-work for classroom & hallway displays too! Your purchase has printable versions of the student materials. Everything you need is included!
