1.15 Recognize basic map symbols, including references to land, water, cities, and roads.
1.18 Use cardinal directions on maps.
LESSON OBJECTIVE:
Given a map of Tennessee, students will relate to the teacher what they think certain symbols represent
with at least 50% participation from the class. (Blooms Taxonomy: Knowledge)
Given a picture of a compass, students will indicate cardinal directions to the teacher with 100%
accuracy. (Blooms Taxonomy: Comprehension)
Given a starting point on the map, students must successfully navigate through the map following the
teachers instructions and at least 80% of class must end up in the final destination the teacher intended.
(Blooms Taxonomy: Application)
Given the Google Maps application, students will point out bodies of water every time one is shown,
and give their best possible guesses to what kind of body of water it is.
STUDENT PARTICIPATION:
The goal of this lesson is to teach students basic map reading including the use of the compass, symbols, and
references to land, water, cities and roads so that they will have a clear understanding of the importance of maps,
and its relation to Tennessee and the whole world.
