UNIT/CHAPTER OBJECTIVE/GENERALIZATION/BIG IDEA:

In order for students to understand that geography influences the development of a region as well as the
interactions between people and the environment, the geography content standards have been structured to be
taught as an independent unit. Students will then utilize their geographic content knowledge and apply the skills
within their study of the continents.

LESSON OBJECTIVE:
Using computer to find which continents are from, and the students will be able to list 7 down which continents are from.
The student will be able to find them all and score 100 percent perfectly.
Given the list the major continents of the world, the students will be able to identify which continent they are belong to
with the score of four out of four on the rubric.
Using computer to find which continent come from, and list all seven it all down with specific picture they are
famous for. The students will score three out of four on the rubric.
