Have you ever heard of a map of the world made out of an orange?

Maybe you haven’t, but Mr. Verdi’s seventh grade Social Studies class, in September, decided it would be a good idea to make it.

J. Gonzalez-72 said that he had to learn about map distortion before his class could make this wacky project. According to Gonzalez, Map Distortion is the action of being distorted/pulled.

He said that this project taught the class that the globe and distortion are different by showing that distortion is on a flat map and a round globe.

The creative person that came up with this idea is none other than Mr. Verdi himself, Gonzalez said.

If this class didn’t learn about distortion, they wouldn’t understand how to MAKE distortion on a map.

J. Gonzalez said, “This was one of the best projects I have done so far!”
