Plot Map Freebie

As I promised...
here is a freebie...
plot map

I used it a lot in the beginning of the year BUT
wanted to revisit it during our Van Allsburg Unit!!!
I am sure you have seen or used something like this before BUT
mine is way cuter (right???)
*** WINK *** WINK ***
ANYWHO...
I use this template a few times with them
and after they are use to the format we move on to
plain paper.

We had the kids do a rough draft of what they wanted on
their Two Bad Ants plot chart
and challenged them to think what an ANT chart should look like.
WE WERE SO SO SO HAPPY
with what they came up with!!!
Take a look!!!
Some of them still include the arrows & others completely went into crazy ant pile detail!!!
LOVE IT!!!!
The conversations they had while publishing these was fun to listen to!!!

Here are a few up close pics!!!


Let me know what you think....
OR....
if you have any questions about the chart!!!
HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
