Class Discussion Lesson Plan

1. The lesson plan discusses a class discussion on geography that will focus on reflecting on the six core elements of teaching geography and how the previous compass lesson incorporated those elements. 2. The teacher will ask thought-provoking questions to engage students in a conversation about the compass activity and how geography can be integrated into social studies and history lessons. 3. Feedback on the compass lesson and discussion of resources like Google Earth and the National Geographic website will help assess student understanding of geography concepts.
