Day 4 Lesson Plan

The lesson plan introduces students to different types of landforms through visuals, definitions, and real-world examples. Students will create a vocabulary notebook with drawings and definitions of landforms like mountains, hills, valleys, and plateaus. The teacher will evaluate students' understanding by checking their vocabulary pages and having students point out and explain specific landforms. The goal is for students to understand landforms and how they impact communities.

Day 4 Lesson Plan

Title of lesson: Landforms they are everywhere!

Type of lesson: Whole Group/ Center; Visual, Written

Standards:

SS.1.G.1.6 Describe how location, weather, and physical environment affect the

way people live in our community.

SS.1.G.1.1 Use physical and political/cultural maps to locate places in Florida.

SS.1.G.1.4 Identify a variety of physical features using a map and globe.

LAFS.1.RI.2.4 Ask and answer questions to help determine or clarify the meaning

of words and phrases in a text.

Objectives: Students will be able to identify landforms and their definitions; and

identify them in their state as well as all over the world.

Materials:

 Pictures of Landforms (Mountains, Hills, Valleys, etc.)

 Map of the U.S. and its landforms

 Map of Florida and the landforms

 Notebook

 Pens, Pencils, Color Pencils, Markers


Procedures:

Before the start of the class ask the students to take out their notebooks, and

title a section “Landform Vocabulary” or something similar. Every student is

different so allow them to either use one page per vocab word or to create a sort of

glossary with all their vocab words. Direct them to include a drawing with each

landform, to have the visual aspect associated with the new words.

Introduce the subject by recounting and discussing interesting facts about the

Earth with the students. Landforms are the various physical features that can be

found on the Earth's surface. Landforms can have an impact on a community's

weather, climate, and way of life. Through discussion, create a definition of

landforms that includes some examples. The impact of landforms on a community

should be discussed. Landforms, for example, have an impact on where people live

and how they create their communities. Landforms such as mountains are

frequently used to build travel routes. Make a copy of the definition your class

comes up with and post it somewhere where all students can see it. In their

notebooks, have students write down the vocabulary word landform as well as the

definition.

Here is an example of how you should introduce the Landforms and how it

should be discussed to engage your students the most:


Place photographs of landforms on the board and identify them. Remind

your students that mountains are the tallest landform on Earth's surface, with steep

slopes covered in snow or gentle slopes with a rounded summit. Explain that a

mountain range is a collection of mountains. Show your kids a picture of a hill and

explain that hills are raised sections of land. Explain in depth that plateaus are

highlands with steep slopes but flat or sloping tops.

Show them a map of the plains, explaining that these are enormous swaths

of flat ground. Remind your students that valleys are low areas that lie between

two mountains or hills, and that rivers or glaciers typically form them.

The important part of this lesson is ensuring your students grasp and

understand the new knowledge you are giving them, which is why it's important

that when you are introducing the landforms and this new information that you

were repeating yourself multiple times and make the connections with any

background knowledge they may have as well as connecting at the things around

them in their community so that when they are outside of the classroom they can

remember the knowledge and connect it.

Evaluation: At the end of the lesson go around and check every student personal

vocabulary pages and their drawings, the teacher could also ask them to show a
specific vocab word and have the student point in the dictionary to see how much

information they grasped during the lesson. If a student is still struggling after the

lesson just put them in a small group and have students discuss the new words they

have learned.
