Reading Response Week of October 24: Reading a Map



Last week, Miss Schaech told you that good readers can interpret, or understand, information on a chart. Well, guess what? Good readers also need to be able to look at various types of maps and think about the information given to them.

I found this map about temperatures across the world. Study the map and answer the following questions:
1. What information am I getting from this map?

2. Why is it important that I see a colored version of this map?

3. I am going on a trip. How would this map help me?

4. Tell me about the area of the map that you live on. Do you agree with the information?

5. The word "mean" has multiple meanings. What definition of the word "mean" is being used in this map title?

Maps are everywhere and one of Miss Scheach's favorite things to study. Next time you see a map, think to yourself...what information is this map giving me?

    2. The colors help me know what temperatures are around the world. The key is in color to help explain the temperatures.
    3. It will help me to know what kind of clothes I should pack.
    4. It looks like Virginia is in a yellowish/redish region. That means the average temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees. That seems right because we have hot weather in the summer and cold weather in the winter, so the middle temperatures would be about 60 to 70 degrees.
    5. The word mean on this map is a math word. Its definition is average.
