In order to cover all of our social studies and science standards, we know that we must integrate them into our ELA block. In this unit, we cover maps and globes while learning how to identify the main topic of a text, as well as specific paragraphs of a text. I added a little fun twist to the unit to make it a little more engaging by turning the students into Main Topic Explorers. We spent the week exploring nonfiction texts identifying the main topic and subtopics. This was also a great…

This cut-out and assemble globe pattern really helps kids see why putting a map on a round surface causes distortions, and also helps teach continents, oceans, and hemispheres.

Also before final assembly, place crumpled/wadded paper inside to help hold the shape of the globe. It will probably help to have the students work in pairs when putting…

Friends~I just completed my Mapping Unit in time for us to start it in class next week. I just know my kiddos are going to love climbing into the world of mapping.
