This year’s theme is “The Geography of Civil Rights Movements.” We have a few resources that suit this study along with other great geography resources from NatGeo.
- Explore free mapping resources for Elementary Students (or folks just getting started with maps too), https://goo.gl/1B6F8r.
- Get your resources for GIS Day!
- Explore the Esri’s GeoInquiries for 15-minute activities on Dr. King’s “Letters from a Birmingham Jail”, Civil War, World History and more.
- Perhaps join the Watson family on a journey to Birmingham in 1963.
