What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students track where a group started, the route it took, and where it settled. They use map evidence to explain causes and effects of the movement.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students accurately read map titles, legends, dates, symbols, and arrows. They identify a migration route and explain effects on both the origin and destination.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may confuse migration with trade, travel, or military conquest. They may think arrows show exact routes, assume all movement was voluntary, or discuss effects only at the destination.
How to Assess It
- Give students a map of Bantu migrations. Ask them to name the origin, identify one destination, and explain one result using map evidence.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a blank map, yarn, and location cards, then have them build a migration route and label one cause and two effects.
Ask students to write: How can migration change both the group that moves and the people already living at the destination?
Play a map relay where teams identify the origin, destination, route, and one result on four historical migration maps.
Compare a modern refugee movement map with an ancient migration map, then list one shared cause and one different effect.
