During class (ppt)
Housekeeping; checking in on any calendar events that tie in with social studies content....
Conceptual work: More geography activities, working towards different stances
demo: Stack the Countries (see also Stack the States)
demo: What's in a (state) name? We'll run this on our JamBoard; I also have some other materials for a slightly different version linked from here: Computational thinking & social studies.
Discussion: Teacher stances – what do they think social studies is for? What does this look like in terms of geography education?
demo: Weaving the Globe – I'll be showing-and-telling, but feel free to download and play around with this Google Earth file as well. This is adapted from an old lesson that I found in a back issue of Social Education.
demo: ‘Transforming the Globe' (I also call it ‘mapping an orange’), borrowed from this lesson plan. If you want to go further with this idea, try this video: The Impossible Map (1947)
If you have a similar sense of humor to me, this will make you laugh every time: What your favorite map projection says about you (xkcd)
maps as tools for all three stances + maps that exclude as well as include
now you produce something: We'll work through the first few steps of the Whose Land? activity
Closure
After class
Reading: Gaudelli & Laverty, 2017
