1.2.2.2.1. First students must choose an individual or event that was previously discussed in class. Some examples that students can choose for their maps include, Canadian prime ministers between 1914 and 1945, or Louis Riel. The student must research this individual/event, and find at least 3 locations that are significant to this individual/event. Students will then create an interactive map that highlights the important locations of the chosen individual/event. The students should have at least 3 points in their map of the locations that are important to the event or individual that they chose.
