<p> CCSS Creel, 2005</p><p>Title: Geography Subject: Social Studies Topic: Continents, Oceans, Hemispheres Grade: 3rd Designers: Robin Travis Leanne Newton, Jodi Brinkley, Sonya Gilliam, Paige Marlow</p><p>Stage 1: Desired Results Science/Social Studies 3.18- Name the Earth’s seven continents, four hemispheres, and QCC four oceans. 3.53- Uses cardinal and intermediate directions on a map or globe, ELA Standard(s) such as N and S, NE and SE. (underline big ideas and ELA3LSVI- oral and visual strategies to communicate key words) ELA3R2- acquires and uses grade level words to communicate effectively ELA3R3- uses a variety of strategies to gain meaning from grade level text (h. interprets information from illustrations, diagrams, charts, graphs, and graphic organizers) QCC and ELA The student will know the 7 seven continents, the 4 oceans, and Enduring Understandings the 4 hemispheres. (Teacher tool) The student will understand and apply cardinal and intermediate directions on a map. The student uses maps to acquire and interpret information. QCC and ELA What are the Earth’s 7 continents, 4 oceans, and 4 hemispheres? Essential questions What are the cardinal and intermediate directions on a map? (2-5 questions) How would understanding the compass rose help me to locate (Student tool) information on a map? How can map skills help me communicate effectively? Elements Utilize the standard elements to identify knowledge and skills QCC and ELA Knowledge (noun) Skills (verbs) Knowledge & Skills  continents  identify and list continents, (Comes from the elements)  oceans oceans, hemispheres,  hemispheres cardinal and intermediate  compass rose directions  oral  locate continents, oceans, communication hemispheres  maps  analyze maps  communicates directions orally  interpret information from maps WHERETO: Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence: What evidence will show that students met the learning goal?
