Find a map. Use the Paris map shape on supercoloringpages.com or use an actual map to create a template. Draw or trace the shape of Paris onto a blank page and make one copy for each child. Compile information about several Paris landmarks and noted events, including pictures.
Instruct students to choose one color and fill in the map with colored pencil. Next, have students color the area outside of Paris on the map a contrasting color.
Provide students with pictures of several Paris landmarks, popular foods and historical events. Have students choose five things that sum up Parisian life.
Instruct students to draw or depict their five choices on their map in marker. Have them write a brief description of their five choices below their map. Ask for volunteers to share their selections with the class. Compare and contrast which choices other students made.
Make a follow-up assignment. Have students choose one landmark or event in Paris history and go home and learn five facts about it. Collect the assignment the next day and have volunteers present their facts in front of the class.
