After looking at maps, students make different-sized concentric circles, from smallest circle to biggest circle for their where they live, their city/town, state, country, and world, respectively. Students select a place in their community that is special to them and draw a picture of their special place. Students then present and teacher video records their street name and address of where they live and their special place - what it is, where it is located in relation to their home or school, and why the place they chose is important to them.
