Caroline-Activity+2

Objective 1.01 Statement: Instructional Plans:
 * Create maps, charts, graphs, databases, and models as tools to illustrate information about different people, places and regions in South America and Europe.
 * Mapping our way through South America: major mountain ranges, rivers, and lakes.
 * Class will start when I distribute an outline of the country of South America. Students will first be asked to fill in any mountain ranges, rivers, or lakes they are already aware of. Next, they will pair up and use online resources such as Google Earth to complete the topography of their maps. Students will then choose five additional places, monuments, cities, or attractions that they feel are significant and identify these on their maps. These can be found from the internet, textbook, magazine, etc. On a separate piece of paper, students will provide a brief annotation of their chosen places and how they affect South America and the world as a whole. As a final step, students will share their findings with a group of 4-5 and add any new information they find interesting to their map. I will hang these around the room so students can compare and continue learning. I will assess their learning through their annotations and final maps. I will also observe during group sharing.
