LESSON

1st Part:


Step 1: Mrs. Silver will begin class by direct instruction via powerpoint. She will move through each slide discussing the 5 Themes of Geography and how they each contribute/impact civilizations. Students will take notes using the Cornell Note Sheet (Mrs Silver will tell them what to write and where, since they are still new to this process/strategy of note taking)






Step 2: Students will use their Cornell Notes to transfer their information about the 5 Themes of Geography to their blank graphic organizer.





Step 3: Mrs. Silver will pass out the Informative 5 Themes of Geography handout. She will discuss each of the boxes, instructing students that each time they are presented with a civilization, they need to ask the 5 Themes of Geography questions and be able to develop answers. Once she has gone over the handout she will allow students to ask questions-clarifying anything that was not clear.




2nd Part:


Step 1: Mrs. Silver will use direct instruction via power point to teach the PERSIAN Chart to students. Students will take notes using their Cornell Notes.
