While conducting research for the Compass, the students discovered how vital the Nile River was to the various aspects of Egyptian civilization. They were able to link each Compass section to the Nile and see how these parts were inter-related. Writing extensions helped to reinforce this interconnectedness. Creating the Compass helped my students develop a deeper understanding of how the environment impacts people\u2019s lives.
\nIn my 4th grade class at Wells International School<\/a>, we are wrapping up a unit on\u00a0settlement patterns around the globe and how geography shapes the lives of people and cultures.\u00a0This seemed like an opportune time to incorporate what I had recently learned from a Compass\u00a0Education<\/a> workshop.<\/p>\n
