    Did you start with the question: “What if you could make your own world?”

    It’s a wonderful exploration you’ve documented here. I’d love to know more about the process.

    Delightful – as always! What a lovely thing for children to imagine – a world of their own.

    @Tom. Sorry I took so long to respond. This class brought the idea of mapping to us (first noticed by classroom teacher, Mr. Jere.) The thread of mapping permeated this class, and an architect was brought in to show blueprints, a parent organized a visit to The Library of Congress to the mapping room, and alongside all the other things that a year brings, mapping just spontaneously happened. I started this idea after the field trip. The first question I asked was “What is a globe.” From there I asked “What if you could make your own globe or world?” There was a great richness and deepness to this project because of their prior experiences and wonderings throughout the year.
