Carry On Mr. Bowditch Maps

Four maps and two answer keys correlate to "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" by Jean Latham.

The Journey's of Nathaniel Bowditch

Our "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" Unit Study provides a world map for students and a color coded answer key for teachers.

Each of the destinations for the five journeys of Nathaniel Bowditch are illustrated on the answer key.

Students are provided with a map identifying the destinations of his journeys. In the chapter activities, they are directed to trace the journey from Salem to each destination.

The students can use the same map for each of the five journeys (two of them are to the same destination.) They are encouraged to use different colored pencils in order to differentiate them.

Madeira Island, Portugal, Spain

Quick! Could you find Madeira Island on a map? Not everyone can.

The journey to the Mediterranean is made clearer with our map allowing students to visualize the ports in Portugal and Spain as well as the tiny island of Madeira.

Map of Massachusetts

The map of Massachusetts illustrates the location of Salem in the state. Students can see Salem's location in comparison to Danvers (where he lives in the opening chapter) as well as Boston Harbor and Plymouth.

In addition, the inclusion of Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Island helps students visualize their importance during the story.

Salem Map

An inset map of Salem identifies important points in the story. These include:

• Gallows Hill
• Essex Street
• Ropes and Hodges Chandler
• House of Seven Gables
• Bowditch Home
• 14 other locations

Map of Salem Harbor

Here is a valuable activity. As students read the account of the sailors watching for the different islands in Salem Harbor on starboard or larboard, they can follow along on the map. They can use the islands as a nautical dot-to-dot to get safely into Salem.

Why does it matter? At the climax of "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" they sail through the same islands and reefs in life-threatening fog. Attention to detail in chapter 16 will make the plot more meaningful as the story reaches its conclusion.
