The Republic of Chile is a South American country occupying a long, narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and Pacific Ocean to the west. It borders Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage in the far south. Chilean territory includes many Pacific Islands including Easter Island in Oceania. Chile also claims some land in Antarctica.


The Andes are the longest continental mountain range in the world. They are a continual range of highlands along the western coast of South America. The mountain range extends north to south through seven South American countries.


The continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as the continental shelves.

After students have created their bumper stickers, they walk around the room reading each other's bumper stickers. This activity is a fun and creati...

English Language Arts Anchor Chart Ideas

Here is a great way of organizing anchor chart ideas. In middle school, students need to go into more detail when comparing and contrasting. I love the idea of using a visual for this strategy.
