Mapping and Geography Unit 1:
We are currently review mapping skills and understanding geography terms.
AGENDA ITEMS:
* Notes: Physical Features / Brainstorming Activity
ASSIGNMENT:
- Political map WS
SKILLS THIS YEAR:
Taking notes is one skill we work on in 6th grade. In the grades to follow, students are expected to have ideas and skills on how to organize information. We also work on other ways to organize information during the school year by using different graphic organizers as we read our text and prepare for assessments.
I will always spend a day or so modeling the skill/strategy to the class. They will then have an opportunity to practice with a partner, and then they will work independently.
