 || Why would you use a map? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Where would you use a map? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">How is a map set up to help you navigate? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">__**Whole Group Navigation Practice:**__ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are going to take a trip through Central Park Zoo. If we are going to start at the entrance, we would begin at G3 (teacher models how to locate G3). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">1. The main exhibit is the Sea Lion exhibit. At what coordinates would you find the sea lions? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Using the compass, which direction would you have to travel to get to the sea lion exhibit? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">3. The next area we are going to visit is the barn. Which direction would we travel to arrive safely at the barn? At which coordinates is the barn located? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">*Have students identify different animal exhibits on the map. Allow different students to give the coordinates and the directions they traveled to arrive at the specific exhibit. || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"> - Smart File for Whole Group <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Individual practice for assessment || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Provide students with NC transportation map. Have students map a route from the coastal plains to the mountains. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students can also use the Metro Map (used in lesson 2) to navigate their way through Washington DC. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Additional extension activities may include examinations of maps of barrier islands over the past years and the ways that they have eroded over year. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students may also study maps to observe weathering and erosion. ||
