Today we reflected on our personal "smarts" that we bring to the classroom and brainstormed the different project options we would like to do to demonstrate understanding. We'll be referring back to these project options throughout the year by giving the students multiple intelligence options for class projects.
Then, we went to the library for library orientation with Mr. Edmison.
Finally, we did a world map activity to assess students' current knowledge of continents, oceans, hemispheres and cardinal directions. Students worked in partners, shared their knowledge with the class and then used atlases to complete a world map activity that they will use as a reference point throughout the year.
Homework: Complete the world map activity if you did not do so in class. On the back of the world map activity, write down 3 questions you have about the geography of the world.
Ms. Devine's questions:
1. Greenland and Iceland are part of what continent(s)?
2. Why is the Middle East a region and not its own continent?
3. How big is Antarctica? Maps can be deceiving.
