Special
Considerations:
Resource students will be grouped with other students for extra one on one help. Students will have limited mapping skills so I will check their knowledge of maps and pair stronger map readers with those less knowledgeable about maps.
Assessment:
Students will be assessed with a rubric on their skills of getting around town as they go through the different scenarios.
