=Lesson Abstract:= Map skills are necessary for students to learn. They are a part of everyday life and these skills are important to learn at a young age. These skills teach human-environment interaction and the relationships between people and places. They also depict where things are located in relation to other places and how to navigate from one place to another. They teach students about similarities and differences of various places. Maps are also the basics of geography skills. Therefore, students will learn and research maps using many different skills. They will learn about different parts of the world starting with their home city to learning about continents and oceans. They will learn how to contrast and compare difference between maps online, paper maps and on a globe. By doing this they will gather a better understanding of maps.

=<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Assessment: = Students will create a foldable for each day of the mini lesson on maps. They will make one for: them on a map, their school, their neighborhood, their city, their state, their country, and their world. In making their foldable they will draw and illustrate each page to their foldable and write about what they have learned about each part of their map lesson. After making their foldables students will get into groups and share different things that they learned throughout this map lesson. After doing this students will participate in a Me on the Map Quiz that will consist of short answers and multiple choice questions. Then students will finish the quiz in Google docs. After completing the quiz they will submit the quiz and it will be sent to the teacher's Google account. The answers will be viewed in a spreadsheet with a time of when they completed it with an answer to each question in different columns for grading purposes. media type="custom" key="23513152"
