Assignment IV

Assignment IV Part A:

We are planning to have our second grade students in the Kalamazoo School District map out the different locations that we have been discussing throughout our Water Resources Unit. These locations may include cities on the river, lakes and dams that are tributaries for the Kalamazoo River. We have provided a map example that shows six different locations along the Kalamazoo River. We would like the students to describe the purpose of the locations that they select in relationship to the Kalamazoo River. For example, the Southern Branch of Lake Michigan is the largest tributary of the Kalamazoo River. When the students have chosen their locations and described its particular function, they do not have to make a route connecting the locations, but to give a descriptor on how that location relates to the Kalamazoo River.
