Teacher will also show different symbols you might find on a map and the positional words that will be used throughout the rest of the lessons. ]]> 2020-12-03 21:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/985829773 Lesson 2: caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/985830283 The teacher will work their way through the google sides and show all the symbols they will learn for their maps they will later draw themselves. They will also learn the positional words that they will use as well as the symbols later on. The students will use the scratch piece of paper that they were given to doodle each symbol after they learn about them to have a guide to look back on for when they draw out their own map. ]]> 2020-12-03 21:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/985830283 Lesson 3: caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/985830945 With symbols there comes with positional words and also cardinal direction. The teacher will change slides and explain what positional words are; like (near/far, left/right, above/beneath, etc.). Also showing and image of the classroom map that shows the arrows with the words North, East, South, West on them. Going over why we use these words to describe a map and how it gives direction when using a mop.

Also look at larger maps and globes to locate land and different water features. Also be able to use positional words like (near/far, left/right, above/beneath, etc.) when finding different things on the map, classroom, school, and home. ]]> 2020-12-03 22:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/985950657 Formative Assignment #1 caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/986718026 After the students learn a little bit about different types of maps they will bring out their coloring booklet and start working on the first page. The first page is the globe. When learning about the globe you will give instructions to the students to color the water blue and the land green. At the bottom of the page you will ask one student or more to share their booklet and go over if it is right or wrong. After they finish coloring the globe have them fill in the the word globe at the bottom.]]> 2020-12-04 05:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/986718026 Formative Assignment #2 caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/986728083 Teacher will place students in pairs. Students will complete a think-pair-share assessment.
    Think: Have the students to think why the symbols are so important for the map? Students will think individually for a few minutes.
    Pair: Students will now speak with their partner for a few minutes. Each partner will be given about 2 minutes OR less to share their thoughts.
    Share: The teacher will group the table back up to make it a larger group discussion. They will go over each symbol again and explain why they are important. At the end the teacher will call time and will go around the room and each group will pick 2 symbols to explain what they are and why they are important. The last group will have to do 3.

They will first start working on the classroom map. They will be given 5mins to draw each map as best as they can. They have to use at least one symbol and also write the correct cardinal directions for each map. ]]> 2020-12-04 06:00:33 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/986731171 Lesson 4: caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/989060849 After learning the positional words and cardinal directions the teacher will show different types of maps and explain why they are all different. She will first start with the classroom map that she already has pulled up. By using the positional words she will explain where everything is placed and give cardinal directions as well as she leads her students through the map of the classroom. Followed after that the directions through the school and then the showing of what a home map would look like. ]]> 2020-12-04 19:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/989060849 Wrap Up caldwellje https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/989088566 Students will be called one by one to come to the front and show their art work to the whole class. Giving them a few minutes to show the maps that they created. The teacher will ask the audience that isn't showing their work just yet what that classmate used to build their map. Like what symbols did "Sindy" use when she drew the classroom as a map? Everyone will have a turn and the teacher will give a different question when a new student shares. ]]> 2020-12-04 20:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellje/vwh1j3b0gqh0w0tl/wish/989088566
