3.

1. Rationale

This lesson is intended to be used as an introduction to an entire unit covering Southeast Asia. The map will be used as new information is gathered. As stated in the closure part of the lesson plan, additional geographic and demographic features will be drawn on the map as well as information pertaining to each country.

Examples include population, climate, religions, food, ethnic groups, and culture. This map can be used in a variety of ways and different information can be covered according to what different teachers are presenting in their classes.

1. Procedures

1. Introduction

The teacher will explain to the students that they will be studying the geography and cultures of Southeast Asia over the next few weeks. To begin the unit, the teacher will create a map of the area on the sheet to hang in the classroom.
2. Strategies

The teacher will have marked lines of longitude and latitude on the sheet prior to the lesson. The students will draw the outlines of the Southeast Asian countries on the sheet by looking at a map and copying what they see into the correct grids on the sheet.

They will then sew a felt pocket per country onto the sheet that will later hold 3" x 5" cards with specific information regarding each country.
3. Practice

After the map outline is complete, the students will be asked to identify and label each country that is on the map.
4. Closure

The teacher will review the fact that Southeast Asia is comprised of ten countries and discuss where they are located in relation to the rest of the world. Emphasis will be on where they are located according to latitude and longitude. This will set the stage for later discussion about climate and how that affects culture. The teacher will also point out how the countries are located in relation to each other – whether or not they border each other or how they are separated.

The teacher will explain that the class will be adding to the map as the class progresses through the unit by drawing in specific locations, such as bodies of water, cities, and mountains. The class will also be researching information about the countries that the students will summarize on 3" x 5" cards to be placed in the pockets on the map.
5. Evaluation

Teacher observation will be used to indicate where students are placing the countries on the map and if the students can match country name to the finished outline.

Students will receive a maximum of 30 points for the day (10 points for working cooperatively with other students in drawing the map; 10 points for map accuracy; and 10 points for being able to match country names with their location on the finished outline).
