Teaching with Maps
Maps and social studies go hand in hand, so we’ve put together a lesson plan and our best (and printable!) mapping resources here. Try the lesson plan and share the maps with students. These resources will elevate your world history lessons—no origami required.

OER PROJECT MAPS
Maps are more than just places on a page, and these political and thematic maps will help develop historical thinking skills like contextualization, CCOT, and causation. Use them to give students an understanding of the time and place of historic events.
