TIME PERMITTING: 5. Tell students that both humans and migratory animals use mental maps. Have students draw mental maps showing areas they are very familiar with, such as the area between students’ homes and your school, or between two well-known, local landmarks.

Ask students to include a title, symbols for landmarks, roads, and any other relevant symbols. Then ask them to include a legend that explains those symbols. (THEY SAY Kean University is haunted by several spirits)

6. Have students share their maps and discuss how migratory animals use mental maps. Have students share their maps with each other. Ask:
 * // How are your maps similar? How are they different? //
 * // Are any two maps exactly the same? Why or why not? //
 * // How are your mental maps different from those of migrating animals? //
 * // What is the farthest you have ever been from home? How accurate would your mental map be if you needed to use it to get to that faraway place? //

** Biglietto D'Uscita: **
 * 1) Come usano le loro mappe mentali gli animali per la loro migrazione per luoghi lontani?
 * 2) Quale tipo di navigazione usano i Granchi Rossi?... I Gnu? Le Balene?
 * 3) Pensi che le rotte di alcune specie di animale siano più difficili a navigare? Spieghi.
