__Student learning objective__:
Students will identify landmarks at school, in their neighborhood and community.

__Materials needed__:
google maps butcher paper small paper squares (3x3) crayons/markers photos of local landmarks

__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
Tell a student a fake story:) about how you went to a well-known location. (Ex. Last night I walked to McDonalds. I went to the stop sign, you know, the one next to the big pine tree. Then I walked over the over-pass. I always stop and wave at the trucks on the freeway. etc)

Talk about the landmarks you mentioned, and how landmarks help us know where things are (and that they can't move). I show my class google earth of my house and discuss why my car isn't a good landmark.

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
-Tape butcher paper up and project a google map of your area. Trace over the major roads. Have students draw a picture of their home on small paper squares. -Tape it to the general area that their house is located. Then let students add other city landmarks (i.e. firestation, police station, parks, churches, stores etc.) They can draw these, or use your photos.
 * If you don't have access to google earth or projectors, draw a large map of the major roads in the area.**
