I will also be connecting the landforms to topographical features of Georgia. Georgia is

landforms, I will show maps of Georgia where these landforms occur (as well as actual
pictures of the Georgian topography) and ask students if they have seen these Georgian
landforms.
I will go through each landform listed in the vocab, and spend more or less time on certain
ones depending on how the children did on the pretest and what they might know more or
less of.
