This week we are continuing our Geography Unit of study. The students are working hard learning all they can about the earth and the 7 continents, 5 oceans(Yes, there are 5 now. We have added the Southern Ocean to the list which is located just above Antarctica.), several countries located in these continents, latitude, longitude, 4 hemispheres, political map, physical map,elelvation map, historical map, road map, climate map and the compass rose. We will also be learning how to use latitude and longitude lines in order to find any absolute location on the earth. This can be difficult sometimes but the students are doing a great job.
I have listed below our learning targets for the first part of this unit.
*I can label the 7 continents and 5 oceans on a map of the world.
*I can locate what hemisphere a continent, country,or state is in using a map.
*I can use longitude/latitude to find an absolute location on the map.
I can give the definition of 4 kinds of maps.
