Oregon Content Standards Alignment Template- “Course Overview”

Team Members: Sarah Flora, Anna Meunier Course Title: Maps Course Objective: Geography

The learner will: Identify and use cardinal and intermediate directions on a compass rose. Locate and label the continents and oceans on a world map. Locate and label the four hemispheres on a world map. Locate and label the Prime Meridian and Equator on a world map. Apply the use of lines of latitude and longitude to determine a location on a

map. Apply the use of a key/legend on a map. Apply scale by calculating distance on a map.

These lesson plans were written as a guideline to teach map skills. The resource used with this unit is Map Skills, Teaching a Variety of Map Skills. The lessons in this unit are directly tied to the fourth grade state standards. The print shop order on the following page is for the worksheets needed to teach this unit as written.

Each lesson should take from 30-45 minutes.

The rest of the lessons and worksheets are also valuable map skills. You are encouraged to implement the other lessons and worksheets for homework, sponge activities or for “Weekly Map Skills” lessons. Those worksheets are not included on the print shop order form.

The section marked “Teaching Tips” of the Lesson Plans was inserted to alert you to potential problems that could arise in each lesson. These are problems that were encountered while piloting this unit.

These lessons are a work in progress. We would like to add and build upon them from year to year. If you find a problem with any lesson, have another way to teach it, or would like to provide feedback, please feel free to contact us: [email protected] or [email protected]

1 Reviewing map skills TE Page #2 Students complete WS 3, 4 & 5

WS 3, 4, 5 Colored pencils

Use when teaching classroom procedures the first week. IE How to pass out papers, seat work, raising hand, etc.

2 Locate and label the continents and oceans on a world map.

TE Page # 6 Students complete blank map on WS 7 using map on WS 9. EXTENSION: WS 8 has added practice if time permits or use for homework.

WS 7 & 9 Do not copy back to back. Students need to look at both WS at the same time. Also, make extra copies of page 7 for students who finish early for cutting out & making a globe. Copy page 9 on index paper and have students keep. They will need this map to complete the review at the end of the unit. Colored pencils Wall Map Globe WS 8 if time permits or for homework.

Explain to students there are not two Pacific Oceans as implied on the worksheet. Cut out map on WS 7 and form it into a globe using tape. Be sure to point out that the numbers on the continents & oceans must match the numbered blanks. (#1 South America) Answers must be spelled correctly and capitalized.

Capitalization of proper nouns Make oceans & continents spelling words.

3 Locate and label the four hemispheres on a world map.

TE Page #6 (“Teaching Suggestions” #5) Students complete WS 10 & 11

WS 10 & 11 (Do not copy back to back. Students need to look at both WS at the same time.) Globe

Answers must be spelled correctly & capitalized.

Capitalization of proper nouns.

4 Identify and use cardinal directions.

TE Page #20 Students complete WS 21 and WS 23 EXTENSION: Use classroom direction signs to play “4 Corners” in the classroom. One student is blindfolded, everyone goes to a different corner (direction), the blindfolded student must call out the direction and point to it, and those students sit down. Play until only one player is left. “Simon Says” using the directions. For example, “Simon says point to the north.”

WS 21 & 23 Direction signs (North, South, East & West) TE #1 Compass

The WS does not take very long. Show students how to use a compass. Find north, south, east & west in your classroom. Place the direction signs in the proper place.

WS 22 is very difficult for students. The wording of the questions is awkward. This would be a good lesson to reinforce classroom management strategies on what to do when you are stumped and when you need to wait for help.

5 Identify and use intermediate directions on a compass rose.

TE Page #24 Students complete WS 25 & 27 EXTENSION: See “Additional Activities” #2 on TE Page #24. WS 26 is very difficult for students. The wording of the questions is awkward.

WS 25 & 27

Explain to students that the top of the paper is always north and the bottom is always south. The wording of the questions on WS 25 is difficult for the students. You may need to do several of them together as a class.

Maps Unit Page 7

6 Apply the use of a key/legend on a map.

TE Page #28 & #32 Students complete WS 30 & 33 EXTENSION: See “Additional Activities” on TE 28 & 32.

WS 30 & 33

Explain to students that when a question asks about what is north of the street, it means the entire street, not just the section above the street name.


7 Apply scale by calculating distance on a map.

TE Page #36 Students complete WS 37 & 38 EXTENSION: See “Additional Activities” #1 on TE 24

WS 37 & 38 Overhead ruler Ruler for each student

Most rulers do not start at the edge of the ruler. Students need to know to start measuring from the line, not the end of the ruler. Distance is not always exact on copies. Students need to know to go to the closest benchmark when measuring. WS 38 will use a fraction of an inch when measuring scale. Go over question #2 together.

How to measure using a ruler. How to measure fractions of an inch. Capitalization of proper nouns.

8 Math

Lesson

WS 43 - 47 These WS reinforce math concept for coordinate grids.

Maps Unit Page 8

9 Locate and label the equator on a map. Apply the use of lines of latitude to determine location on a map.

TE Page #48 Students complete WS 49

WS 49 Colored pencils

Reinforce the unit of measurement is in degrees. It is in the directions at the top of WS 49, but students overlook this. Reinforce that the numbers are the same, but it is the north and south of the equator that is important.

Math: Use a protractor to show how the degrees are measured to create lines of latitude.

Maps Unit Page 9

10 Apply the use of lines of latitude to determine location on a map.

More practice Students complete WS 52

WS 52 Reteach that the boundaries of the states are the dashed lines. It may be helpful to outline those in colored pencil before beginning. Reinforce that the straight borders fall on lines of latitude; while the crooked borders are created by rivers or the Pacific Ocean’s coastline. Reteach that the city names are represented by dots, and the state names are in bold. It is helpful to trace the lines of latitude with a highlighter before beginning. Discuss where the unlabeled lines of latitude would be placed on the map.


Maps Unit Page 10

11 Locate and label the prime meridian on a map. Apply the use of lines of longitude to determine location on a map.

TE Page #54 Students complete WS 55 & 57 EXTENSION: WS 56 has added practice, if time permits, or use for homework.

WS 55 & 57

Be sure the students are connecting the meridians of the map at the bottom of WS 55 at the two poles. They want to make them parallel like the lines of latitude.


12 Apply the use of lines of latitude and longitude to determine location on a map.

TE Page #60 Students complete WS 66 EXTENSION: WS 62 has added practice and is challenging. Tell students to check off numbers as they draw the lines on the map so they don’t get lost while doing the activity. Too difficult to use for homework.

WS 66 WS 62 if time permits.

Point out to students that not all states show a city and that the states are abbreviated. Remind the students that the dot represents the closest city. (See San Francisco & San José.) Teach students how to estimate unlabeled lines of longitude and latitude in between the labeled lines. Use colored pencils to draw in unlabeled lines of latitude and longitude.
