We use these dry erase boards for everything (math, vocabulary, spelling, science) including quick map drawing activities. In this case the assignment was to draw the outlines of the seven continents from memory in less than a minute. Another time students drew and labeled maps of Florida and our school grounds.
These challenges are met with great enthusiasm.
Something about the temporary nature of the dry erase boards gives students a sense of freedom to experiment and take risks.
I love the exuberance of Tessa's map. And she remembered the planet is round. After the photo she moved the continents to their correct position.
