SOCIAL STUDIES UNIT PLAN Hannah Jones ​ SOCIAL STUDIES UNIT PLAN Hannah Jones ​ ● Social Studies Unit Plan ● Grade 3 ● Main SOL: Social Studies SOL 3.6: ● The student will develop map skills by using globes and maps to locate and describe major rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features of ● a) Africa; ● b) Asia; ● c) Europe; ● d) North America; and ● e) South America. ● *Day 5 of Teaching: 2008 SOL 3.5: ● The student will develop map skills by ● a) positioning and labeling the seven continents and five oceans to create a world map; ● b) using the equator and prime meridian to identify the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Hemispheres; ● Teaching time frame: 6 days The third grade Social Studies SOL 3.6 is all about knowing how to use maps and globes to locate and describe the characteristics and locations of the major rivers, mountain ranges and other geographic features of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Students should know that they are each separate continents that have their own unique features. They will already have prior knowledge from Second grade of the 7 continents, major rivers, mountain ranges and oceans and where they are located on the map and globe. In third grade, they are to go more in-depth and focus on these 5 continents along with the specific geographic features of each. This Unit will consist of 5 days of teaching and 1 day of assessment. Each day will introduce a main idea of the SOL, focusing on one continent. The first day of the Unit, I will ask students what they remember from 2nd grade about the continents and oceans and where they lie on a map and globe. (They should already be familiar with locating all of these on the map/globe). I will tell students we are going to dig deeper into that content and learn more. Day one will cover the continent of Africa along with its location on the map and globe, as well as major rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features. Day two will cover Europe and Asia, Day three will cover North America, Day four will cover South America and the final Day, Day five will cover the equator, prime meridian, and the four hemispheres. (2008 SOL) By the end of the Unit, students should be able to label the 5 continents with their major rivers, mountain ranges and other geographic features on a map and globe. The final day, Day Six will assess students on all knowledge learned by making their own creative map of the world ​ ​ including the continents learned and their features. Students should use their creativity with this, and make it from any resources; including food/candy, clay, play-doh, construction paper/posters, other arts and craft objects, etc. The continents and key features should be clearly labeled and positioned correctly. The assessment will be assigned after Day Five of teaching. Students will be assigned a group of 2-3 partners to complete this project together, and they will have two weeks to work on it at home. On the due date, the group should bring in one map to the classroom including all required materials. ​ ​ ​ Social Studies Unit Plan Day 1 - Monday Purpose: ● The purpose of this lesson is to teach students about the continent of Africa including its major rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features. Students should be able to locate these on a map and globe. SOL: Social Studies SOL 3.6: ​ ● The student will develop map skills by using globes and maps to locate and describe major rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features of ● a) Africa; ● b) Asia; ● c) Europe; ● d) North America; and ● e) South America. ● Objective: ​ ● The student will be able to identify the major river, mountain range, and desert of Africa given a scavenger hunt with 100% accuracy. Procedure: Introduction: ● Ask students what they know about the continent of Africa - where it is, what is there, etc. ● Read The Water Princess by Susan Verde ​ ​ ● Ask questions after the read-aloud to engage students as well as hearing what they liked and learned about the story ● Explain to students that life is different in parts of Africa and this story was based on a true story Development: ● Gather students to the rug or area in front of SmartBoard. Pull up a map of Africa that includes the Nile River, Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert. Have these items highlighted on the map. Ask students if they have heard of any of these landmarks before. ● Hand students a blank map of Africa, and tell them to follow along on their papers with the board. ● Explain that the Nile River is the longest river in the world, the Atlas Mountains separate the coastlines of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean from the Sahara Desert, and that the Sahara Desert is the largest, hottest desert in the world. Instruct students to highlight each of these features in different colors as I talk about it. Once they have the river, the mountains, and the desert highlighted, they can color in the map of Africa. ● Lastly, have students do an interactive scavenger hunt of Africa on iPads, computers, etc. Assign a group of students to either the Nile River, the Atlas Mountains, or the Sahara desert to learn MORE about each. Students can record what they find in their Social Studies journals and work together on their assigned location. ● Share with the class what each group learned about each feature of Africa. Record responses on a anchor chart and have a brief discussion with the whole class. Summary: ● As an exit ticket, do a “Kahoot” game (https://kahoot.it/) with the students that includes questions about the Nile, the Atlas, and the Sahara - in regards to what they were and where they are located on the continent of Africa. ● When the game is over, the winner will get a treat (pencil, gold star, etc.) ● Summarize the lesson by going over key features of Africa, and tell students to glue their Africa map in their Social Studies journals. Materials: ● The Water Princess by Susan Verde ​ ● SmartBoard, Promethean Board, etc. ● Map of Africa for board ● Blank maps for students ● Form of technology - iPad, laptop, computer ● Pencils ● Paper ● https://kahoot.it/ ● Gluesticks ● Journals ● Paper for anchor chart ● Markers Evaluation Part A: ● If the students can identify the major river, mountain range, and desert of Africa given a scavenger hunt with 100% accuracy, then they have met my objective. Evaluation Part B: ● Did the students meet your objectives? ● How do you know? ● Did your lesson accommodate/address the needs of all your learners? ● What were the strengths of the lesson? ● What were the weaknesses? ● How would you change the lesson if you could teach it again? Social Studies Unit Plan Day 2 - Tuesday Purpose: ● The purpose of this lesson is to teach students the key geographic features of both Europe and Asia. Students should be familiar with the major rivers, mountain ranges, deserts, seas, and peninsulas. They should be able to locate all of these features on a map and globe. SOL: Social Studies SOL 3.6: ​ ● The student will develop map skills by using globes and maps to locate and describe major rivers, mountain ranges, and other geographic features of ● a) Africa; ● b) Asia; ● c) Europe; ● d) North America; and ● e) South America. Objective: ● If the students can locate the key geographic features of both Europe and Asia by making a mini booklet with 90% accuracy then they have met my objective. Procedure: Introduction: ● Show students two videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exeKgohZWRo ​ (Asia) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rasoTvf9UUo (Europe). ​ ​ ● Ask students some key takeaways they learned from these videos and do a brief discussion ● Pull down a map and ask, “Which one is Europe? “Which one is Asia?” ○ Ask students if anybody is either of these places, or if anybody has visited either before. Development: ● Discuss key components of each such as the Himalayan Mountains are one of the highest peaks on Earth, the Gobi Desert is Asia’s largest desert, the Alps are the largest mountain range in Europe, and the Mediterranean Sea is situated between Europe, Africa and Asia through all different directions. As we are introducing these things, point to them on the map and engage students. ● On the Promethean Board, pull up a blank map with Europe and Asia outlined/bolded. Discuss the Himalayan Mountains, Huang He River, Gobi Desert, Mediterranean Sea, The Alps, and the Italian Peninsula. Do this by showing both both the map and a globe, pointing out each feature and giving an explanation of where and what it is. ● On the blank map, pull up a word bank with each of the features. Call students up by volunteers to come draw each feature in where it belongs using the word bank. Once all locations are correctly added, go over it one more time before the activity. ● Students will be making a mini booklet on Europe and Asia. Using the information they just learned, they can use iPads or computers to research more into the continents. They will also have access to the map we labeled as well as the globe. Their book with have a section for each continent, and a page for each of the features where students will write 3-4 facts about them. Summary: ● Review the major geographic features again showing the big map and the globe. ● Ask students if they liked making their booklets ● Ask students what they learned, and to “turn and talk” to a friend and share something fun or cool they wrote in their books.

Ortelius was a great compiler of newly discovered geographical facts and information. His New World mapping is also a study in early conjecture, including a generous northwest passage below the Terra Septentrionalis Incognita, and a projection of the St. Lawrence reaching to the middle of the continent. Ortelius’s map includes Terra Australis Nondum Cognita, reflecting the misconception held at the time of a massive southern continent, that incorporates Tierra del Fuego in this southern polar region rather than in South America.

  • 432 1 Americæa Pars Borealis, Florida
    #432 Americæa Pars Borealis, Florida, Baccalaos, Canada, Corterealis Description: Cornelis de Jode’s map of North America is preceded only by the separately issued Forlani/Zaltieri map of 1565 (#391), and an extremely rare separately issued map. Together with a smaller western sheet, Quivirae, this was the first folio sized atlas map to focus on North America. The plates were purchased by J.B. Vrients who kept de Jode’s work out of publication in favor of Ortelius’ Theatrum. The French, like the British, resented the exclusive Iberian franchise on new lands dictated by the papal demarcation line, and tried to stake out claims of their own in what is now the United States. They targeted the region of northern Florida, officially in the Spanish sphere of influence. Although it had been abandoned by Spain as a region of serious exploration by a decree of Philip II in 1561, French presence there was nonetheless viewed as trespassing. The experience of France’s first attempt to colonize northern Florida, in 1562, is sadly parallel to what would happen to the British in Roanoke two decades later. Jean Ribault and Rene Goulaine de Laudonniere commanded the mission, which crossed the Atlantic directly from the French port of Havre de Grace to North America, rather than sailing the more common route through the Spanish Main and north. De Jode has written Laudnner hue. appulit and Ribaldus hue, at their landfall on the Florida peninsula. From there, they reconnoitered north, reaching a large river they named Mai because they found it on the first day of May.

One American's Story Essie Parrish, a Native American storyteller and medicine woman, kept alive stories from a time when her people, the Kashaya Pomo, flourished along the northern California coast. She invited Robert Oswalt, an anthropologist, to time-travel with her to the 1540s. As Parrish spoke, the centuries rolled back. A PERSONAL VOICE ESSIE PARRISH “ In the old days, before the white people came up here, there was a boat sailing on the ocean from the south. Because before that . [the Kashaya Pomo] had never seen a boat, they said, ‘Our world must be coming to an end. Couldn’t we do something? This big bird floating on the ocean is from somewhere, probably from up high. .’ [T]hey promised Our Father [a feast] saying that destruction was upon them. When they had done so, they watched [the ship] sail way up north and disappear. They were saying that nothing had happened to them—the big bird person had sailed north- ward without doing anything—because of the promise of a feast. Consequently they held a feast and a big dance.” —quoted in Kashaya Texts ▼ The event became part of the Kashaya Pomo’s oral history. Dressed for a ceremony in the 1950s, Stories like this have provided us with a broad picture of the spiritual leader Essie Parrish wears a Native American world before it came into contact with the feathered headdress and holds two bead-covered staffs.

    Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature by Kyle Carsten Wyatt A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto © Copyright by Kyle Carsten Wyatt 2011 Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature Kyle Carsten Wyatt Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto 2011 Abstract “Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature” recuperates the print culture phenomenon of literary map production, which became popular in North America around 1898. A literary map can be defined as any pictorial map that depicts imaginative worlds or authorial associations across geopolitical space. While notable examples have circulated for centuries in bound books, such as Thomas More’s Utopia and William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, the majority of twentieth- century literary maps were ephemeral productions that have not survived in great numbers. These discursive documents functioned as compelling expressions of literary taste and cultural values; they circulated in magazines and newspapers, as gas station promotional giveaways and diner placemats, and as classroom “equipment.” Extant literary maps offer new perspectives on turn-of-the-twentieth century U.S. literary nationalism and the Public Library Movement, “fiction debates” and “Great Books”
