Preservice Teachers Map Compassion: Connecting Social Studies
and Literacy Through Nonfictional Animal Stories
Abstract Nonfiction stories of animal compassion were
used in this literacy-social studies integrated lesson to
address both efferent and aesthetic stances in transmediation
of text from picture books to maps. Preservice early childhood
and elementary teachers chose places from the nine
recent children’s stories, symbolizing them on a map while
completing other map elements such as legend, index, title,
and compass rose. Compassion and social-emotional skills
were woven into the project by representing the affective
tone of story events at various places through choice of place
name adjectives. A social studies extension included analysis
of how the five themes of geography were depicted on the
map. Synopses of the books, one map made by first graders,
and three preservice teacher-made maps, along with efferent
and aesthetic elements and examples of geography themes
from the maps are included. Suggestions for implementation
and extension of the lesson with early elementary students
are provided.
