The 8th graders have been learning about how the newcomers to North Dakota viewed and surveyed the land long ago. In this activity, they had to create a map of the school and pretend it was new land. They had to decide if the area was fit for a school, much like the newcomers to land had to decide if the area was good for farming. The 8th grade explorers had to note important details that would be needed for a school, such as classrooms, lockers, and more! They ultimately came to a conclusion that this was a great place to have a school!
