  1. Social Studies: Erika Barash and Michael Smith Climate and Vegetation Regions

  2. Lesson Plan • Grade: 5th Grade • Class Size: 25 students – 3 students have ADHD and 5 others have ADD. The makeup - 10 Caucasian, 7 African American, 5 Hispanic, 3 Asian. • Allocated Time: 1 hour (5-10 minutes extra if needed)

  3. Topic: Climate and Vegetation Regions • Spend 5 minutes discovering what students know about climate and vegetation regions of the United States. (Previous Knowledge) • Use a map (on PowerPoint) to split the U.S. into six main areas so that it is easier for students.

  4. Topic: Climate and Vegetation Regions • Work with students to see what areas they know. (start with our area North East) Work your way down the East coast and so on. • An easier way to do this is to ask who has visited certain placesbefore. • Use a PowerPoint and have a handout of the U.S. so students can write or draw what type of climate regions are in the U.S.

  5. Topic: Climate and Vegetation Regions • Make a chart with the students to label different areas on the map, students can color (which will increase motivation) • Establish a list of key termsfor the students and make sure that all of the students have them written down as well as the definitions. • From this you can use a handout that focuses on those key terms and have students work in pairs to figure out the answers together.

  6. Transition (for second lesson plan) • After the handout is discussed, the teacher should wrap that lesson up, then discuss how people live and work in many different environments. (End of first lesson) • These two lessons can occur one day or the next day in social studies.

  7. Where People Live and Work • Try to gain prior knowledge of students. • Establish more key terms forstudents to learn about where people live and work. (the different areas) • Relate to the students and help them figure out where their parents work and in what kind of area they live.

  8. Suggestions • ANY IDEAS FOR WHAT OTHER ACTIVITIES I COULD HAVE MY CLASS DO? • -Maybe a poster ?... • -List types of jobs in certain areas?... • -List why different areas are needed… • -Any ideas would be great
