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
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)
