Classroom/Lesson Context
Central Focus: The students will identify the seven continents, oceans, and the
topographical features of the Earth’s surface.
Content Standard:
SS1G3: The student will locate major topographical features of the earth’s
surface.
a. Locate all of the continents: North America, South America, Africa, Europe,
Asia, Antarctica, and Australia.
b. Locate the major oceans: Artic, Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian.
Student Learning Goal(s)/ Objective(s): After guided practice, the students will be
able to identify the continents and oceans with 72% accuracy. The students will be able
to locate the different contents and oceans.
Skills/procedures The students will practice their knowledge of the major continents
and oceans with activities and games.
I will begin by turning off the lights, which informs the students to stop talking and put
their heads down. Turn on lights when quiet to begin the lesson. Then I will tell the
students that we are going to continue to go over the 7 continents today and 4 oceans. I
will tell them that while I am talking or the video is on, then are expected to have open
ears and closed mouths. They will come to the carpet for them to listen to the song.
Then I will play a song for the students involving the 7 continents and 5 oceans.
Continent & Ocean song.
As the students return to their seats, I will call the students up to my desk by groups
(Table 1, 2, 3) to look at the globe. On the way back to their seats, they will grab a dry
erase board and marker. We will together go over the continents and oceans on a blank
map on the Smart Board. Then I will ask them questions referring to the world map.
They will refer to the blank world map on the Smart Board. They will use their dry erase
board and markers to answer questions. When a group raises their board with the
correct answer first, they will come to the board and write in the answer on the Smart
Board.
Questions include:
Each student will be given their own worksheets. The first one will be used as guided
practice. The second will be used as independent practice. For guided practice, I will
allow the students to come up one at a time to fill out the blank map that they will use for
independent practice. For independent practice, they will listen to the VoiceThread to
get instructions. They will be given the worksheet, complete the worksheet, then read
after they are finished.
Closure: 15 Minutes
The students will all go to the computers to play a game to practice their knowledge on
the website: http://mrnussbaum.com/continents/
Differentiation/ Planned Support
If students are still confused or unsure about where items are on the map or simply not
understanding any locations, I will be able to pull them aside to reteach if needed. I can
pair them with a student that understands the newsletter information as well if
necessary.
Student Interactions
Students are expected to follow the classroom rules at all times. They are allowed to
interact with those in the group using an inside voice.
