Stage 1 - Desired Results

Established Goals:
Students will be able to identify and understand the parts of a map in order to create their own map.
1.1 Enduring Understandings 1.2 Essential Questions

Students will understand that . . . . ● What is a scale on a map?


● The scale is a ratio that compares the distance on ● What is the purpose of a scale on a map?
the map to the corresponding distance on land. ● What parts does a map need to have in order to be
● A map needs a legend/key, labels/symbols, effective?
title,compass and scale to be effective ● How do you find the absolute location of a place?
● Latitude and longitude help you find the absolute
location of a place on a map
● Absolute location is the fixed location of a place

1.3 Acquisition of Knowledge and Skills

Students will know . . . . Students will be able to . . .


● The parts of a map: scale, title, symbols, compass, ● Use coordinates to identify a location on a map
and a legend or key ● Identify and use the parts of a map properly
● The difference between latitude and longitude ● Create their own map using their knowledge of the
different parts of a map

Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence

Performance Tasks: Other Evidence:


● Creating their own map ensuring they have all the ● Observations of students’ understanding through
necessary parts using the rubric provided class discussions and work
● Task cards
● Exit Tickets
● What did you learn today response

Stage 3 - Learning Plan

Learning Activities:
● Surveys on what they need further clarification on (R, E)
● Comparing and contrasting elements on different maps in order to understand what makes a map effective (H)
● Whole group discussions: what is important about the different parts of a map, what is latitude and longitude, etc. (O)
● Task cards: for identifying the different parts of a map and their uses, how to use longitude and latitude (E)
● Question box: If they have a question at the end of a lesson, they can ask a question and it will be answered the next
class. (R)
● What did you learn today response: the students will write one thing they learned at the end of the lesson and put it in
their envelope (R)
● Read short articles about the uses of the parts of a map (W)
● Find the missing parts of the map (H)
● Students create a map of either the school complex or place of their choice (T)

● Games to explore the cardinal directions on a compass (H)
● Worksheets to practice using scale, symbols, legends, latitude and longitude (E)
● Interactive slides on the whiteboard: in regards to the different parts of a map and how to create their own map (O)
● Analyzing real maps to decipher what the symbols mean and what symbols the mapmakers included (O)
● Working with peers to provide feedback and assistance (E, R)
● Modeling how to use the parts of a map and how to use latitude and longitude (T)
● Videos: relevant to the parts of the map (Scale) (E)
● Turn and Talks (E,R)
● Guided instruction on how to use coordinates (T)
