4.++Five+Day+Unit+Plan

Basic yet helpful! By now you should have your ideas for books to use in place. I did some checking into the "geocashing" sp? idea. The real online program goes to great lengths to allow for items to be placed in certain locations; permits from National Parks etc. You could fabricate your own scavenger hunt and simulate this but can't actually use the program itself. Make sense? LTS 11-15-10

Five Day Action Plan

Day 1: Reading a book to introduce the concept of maps. Review prior knowledge of the subject (KWL chart) Time line of maps

__Monday's Lesson Plan__

__Pre- assessment for the entire unit plan__ __Digital Timeline for Monday's lesson plan__

Day 2: Going over the different types of maps (working with 3 specific type mostly)



Day 3: Teach how to read a map Make a dictionary with importance Sunshine State Standard terms

Lesson Plan:

Dictionary rubric:

Day 4: Student Scavenger Hunt (possible Geocashing) Give students landmark assignment in pairs (students will research multiple landmarks that night for homework and in specific given classroom time during the school day)

Day 5: Students will make their own map (this will be tied in with knowing the states and also their landmarks that was their assignment the previous day) and review information from previous days. Post assessment of entire lesson plan will be conducted.
