Volcanoes of the World: Google Maps
We had to create a google map and we had to find volcanoes from around the world. We had to mark where they were and write a description about the volcano. Our WALT was to find out about volcanoes from around the world and pin them on a map. We are learning to understand lots of different texts by finding main ideas in them and then putting the information and ideas that we have learnt into our own words. We created it by going onto Google maps and then we pressed the 3 horizontal lines in the right hand corner and click on my maps. Create a map and call it Volcanoes of the World. We had to fin, pin and write a description about at least 15 volcanoes. I went overboard and did about 30 - 40 volcanoes.
I have learnt about how dangerous volcanoes can be, about the pacific ring of fire and how earthquakes can also create a volcanic eruption. Someone can learn about volcanoes and about them by looking and clicking on my pins that I have put together. I enjoyed create pins and finding a lot of different volcanoes from all around the world. It was an amazing experience.

This is such a great post! You have done a great job of describing the learning experience you had. The fact you went on to find about 30-40 volcanoes shows me how much you must have enjoyed this task! Keep up the great work!
