Lesson plans built on the map
We're writing ready-to-run geography lessons that use the games and globe your students already like, with readings from Learn to go deeper. They aren't ready yet. Leave your email and we'll tell you when they are.

The plan
Free, no student accounts
Every plan, game and article stays free. Students play straight from the link.
Made for the projector
Big maps, short rounds, and a lesson flow you can run from the front of the room.
One class period
Each plan fits 40–50 minutes: objectives, timed steps, discussion questions and a printable page.
Sourced readings
Readings come from Learn, where claims link to the treaty, survey or record behind them.
The first lessons we're working on
Lines drawn with a rulerGrades 6–12
Why some borders run dead straight across the desert, and what the people who drew them were thinking about.
Every map is wrongGrades 6–12
Flatten a globe and something has to stretch. Students compare projections and decide which lie they can live with.
One continent, every countryGrades 3–8
Learn a continent's countries as a class, then race to name them all on the globe.
Reading a flagGrades 3–8
Colours, stars and symbols: what flags say about the places that fly them.
Places that changed their namesGrades 9–12
Bombay to Mumbai, New Amsterdam to New York: who renames a place, and why it matters.
Where the map depends on who you askGrades 9–12
Disputed places, handled carefully: how to read a map that two countries draw differently.
