DAY 1 LESSON Hello all, so I wanted to update you what will be in the lesson for day one. So you all know, I am going to be putting a note in my lesson stating that the students will have completed a pre-assessment on the day prior to this lesson. PLEASE SEND ME AT LEAST 3 QUESTIONS for the people that are doing days 1,2, or 3. For day 1, I will be talking about the purpose and history of maps. I was going to start by talking about the purpose of maps. For this, I plan on generating a classroom list of what the students think the purpose of maps are. Then, I will continue by showing the students a list of what the experts say the purpose of maps are. As a class, we will compare the two lists and have any other further discussions. Next, I will go into the history of maps. For this, I plan on setting up a powerpoint that I can use on the smart board and have a digital time line. The students will also be completing an activity that deals with the timeline. I am still working on the actual activity itself so if any has SUGGESTIONS let me know.
