Lesson Content
What Standards (national
or state) relate to this
lesson?
(You should include ALL
applicable standards. Rarely
do teachers use just one:
theyd never get through
them all.)

Essential Understanding
(What is the big idea or
essential question that you
want students to come away
with? In other words, what,
aside from the standard and
our objective, will students
understand when they finish
this lesson?)

Objectives- What are you

teaching?
(Student-centered: What will
students know and be able to
do after this lesson? Include
the ABCDs of objectives:
action, behavior, condition,
and degree of mastery, i.e.,
"C: Given a sentence written

SS.3.G.1.5
Compare maps and globes to develop an understanding of the concept of
distortion.

What are some real world uses of maps? What are some real world uses for globes?

Looking at a map and a globe, the student will be able to describe the similarities
between maps and globes
Looking at a map and a globes, the student will be able to describe the differences
between maps and globes

in the past or present tense,

A: the student B: will be able
to re-write the sentence in
future tense D: with no errors
in tense or tense contradiction
(i.e., I will see her
yesterday.)."
Note: Degree of mastery does
not need to be a percentage.)
Rationale
Address the following
questions:
Why are you teaching this
objective?
Where does this lesson fit
within a larger plan?
Why are you teaching it
this way?
Why is it important for
students to learn this
concept?
Evaluation Plan- How will
you know students have
mastered your objectives?
Address the following:
What formative evidence
will you use to document
student learning during
this lesson?
What summative evidence

Students must be able to discern the similarities and differences between maps and
globes because it connects to real world uses of these tools. Students should be able to
understand their uses and situations that these tools should be used. This lesson fits
within the larger plan of students expanding their view of the world around them. They
can compare maps that they might be familiar with, such as their neighborhood, to maps
of larger areas, like their city or state. Instead of teaching through traditional lecture, I
am teaching the lesson through small group discussion and observation. By students
discussing their observations between maps and globes, it allows them to share ideas.
Students can share their thinking and learn what they might not have thought of.

Formative Assessment
As students discuss in their groups, I will
circulate around the room and listen to
their discussion
Students will receive a Venn Diagram to
note what they observe about maps and
globes

Summative Assessment
Students will receive a maps and globes
quiz later in the week

Who is
responsibl
e (Teacher
or
Students)?

Each content area may require a different step-by-step format. Use

whichever plan is appropriate for the content taught in this lesson.
For example, in science, you would detail the 5 Es here
(Engage/Encountering the Idea; Exploring the Idea;
Explanation/Organizing the Idea; Extend/Applying the Idea;
Evaluation).

5 min

Ask students to get into four groups of four and raise their hands
when they have gotten into their group

5 min

Ask students to choose one representative from their group to get

Venn Diagram sheets, maps, and a globe for their group

10
min

Give the following directions: In front of you, there are a few

different kinds of maps and a globe. I want you to discuss with your
group members some of the similarities and differences between
the maps and globe. You can note these similarities and differences
in the Venn Diagram handout that you also received

10
min

As the students begin to discuss allow them to point out the obvious
differences and similarities between the two (One is flat, one is
round. They both show where places are. They both have a compass
rose.) Once students have pointed out these similarities, listen to
see if they need guiding questions. If needed ask questions like
What do you notice about the sizes of these two tools. Can you use
them for the same things like going on a road trip? Is one more
durable than the other?
After asking prompting questions, allow students to discuss more
observations. Use this time to check in on students that need
accommodations. Listen to see if these prompting questions
expanded their thinking. Did they notice other similarities and
differences that the teacher didnt think of? Ask CT and second
intern to circulate the room as well.

0 min
Provide more prompting questions if necessary.
Give 5 minute warning

5 min

Use an attention getter to ask students to finish any observations

and listen up for a brief group discussion.

10
min

Ask the class to share some of their observations. Did these

students make the same observations that their classmates did?
After allowing a few students to share their observations, wrap up
the lesson with a PowerPoint. Ask students to note any similarities or
differences that they didnt write down. Give a brief amount of time
for students to copy information from each slide.

What will you do if

a student struggles with the content?

If certain similarities or differences are not discussed during small group discussion,
prompting will be given to guide students. I will continue to listen to each groups
discussion and provide more prompting if necessary. If more help is needed, I will briefly
sit in with a group and ask guiding questions

What will you do if

a student masters the content quickly?

I would ask students to think of real world situations in which the use of a map or globe
would be most useful
