Students revisit photos, notes from the ranger story, and earlier maps to sort strong examples of labels, symbols, legends, and direction words from weak ones. The class co-creates a short anchor chart for what makes an Orange County map poster clear and useful for families. Students finish by naming 2-3 landforms or water features they may include in their own poster or atlas page sketch.
