Suggested Student Assessment:
Have students create their own quizzes to have classmates locate mystery places using the
OMC Input Form.
Extending the Lesson:
Divide the class into small groups, and have each group use an atlas to create an activity
similar to Crack the Code to give to another group. They should make sure that they use
real places that can be identified in the atlas. Have them list the coordinates on one page
and the place names on another page. The page with the place names will serve as the
answer key.
