Back in January we made a map of Qaanaaq on the classroom floor. We used anything we could find to build the buildings, roads and water tanks.
The 5th graders were brilliant at placing things in the correct place and with the correct orientation.
The physical 3D map was becoming very detailed. We had to limit the building of the map to the immediate area around the school as we were running our of bricks and pieces!
When finished we took pictures with the digital camera. Then we took the digital camera outside to see if we could navigate in Qaanaaq using a picture of the map we had built. We wanted to test how accurate it was.
While we were out we saw Nipinnguaq who was leaving that day. She ran out to join us for a class photo.
