Boston Harbor 1773 Map

Students study the map and answer the questions in full sentences. Use it with the reading passage so students can trace the walk from the meeting house to the wharf.

One page with a map of Boston in 1773 that is not to scale. It shows Charlestown, the Charles River, Boston Harbor, Long Wharf, Griffin's Wharf, the Old South Meeting House, Boston Neck and the mainland, with a compass rose and a key. Four questions ask about direction, the body of water, Boston Neck and why colonists met first.

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade graphic organizers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

A graphic organizer is a visual space that helps students sort and connect their ideas before they write, compare, sequence, or plan. Students use them to plan a piece of writing, compare two things, order events, brainstorm, or take notes. Making thinking visible helps students see connections and relationships they might otherwise miss.

The set includes Venn diagrams for comparing, flow charts and storyboards for sequencing, webs for brainstorming, and tables and planning frames for gathering information. They work across reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.

Fill one in together as a class the first time so students see how each box works, then let them complete their own for a book, topic, or writing plan. A completed organizer becomes a plan students can write from, turning scattered ideas into structured work. Match the organizer to the thinking you want: a Venn diagram to compare, a flow chart to sequence, a web to brainstorm.

Yes. Every organizer prints on standard 8.5x11 paper, and downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial. Parents can use a simple organizer to help a child plan a story, study for a test, or compare two options side by side.
