1. Anticipatory set: Ask the students to recall the information they learned the day before about using maps to locate their hometown, Florida, North America, and the state and national capitals while calling students up to locate these places on the map. 2. Tell the students they are going to learn where all the continents and oceans are located on the world map. Explain that at the end of the lesson, they will be given a word search to help them to practice the spelling of the continents and oceans to be followed by them labeling a blank world map. 3. Ask the students to raise their hands if the know what the name of the different continents are while pointing to them on the map. If students raise their hands, ask them to come to the board and color the continent a color given on the key (example: South America is purple). 4. As the continents are being pointed out, show students the cards with the animals on them to give them another point of reference for what animal is indigenous to that area. 5. Repeat above steps with the oceans. 6. Ask students if they know what and where the Equator is. If there is a student who knows what it is, have them highlight the Equator on the map. If not, highlight it for students. 7. Repeat above steps with Prime Meridian, North and South Poles. 8. During this portion of the lesson, tell students they are going to play a game to practice what they have learned. Pass around the inflatable globe to students, asking them to name a specific location from the lesson. Once the student has answered, have them pass the globe back to you. 9. When the students have finished coloring the map on the board, distribute the Continents and Oceans Word Search. Students with exceptionalities should be working with their shoulder buddies on this assignment. 10. Upon completion of the word search, distribute the Animals and Continents/Oceans cards and the blank world map to students. Explain to students that they are to use the Animal cards to help them to locate where the continent or ocean is, and once they find it, they are to label the location by the number given at the bottom of the map. *Students with exceptionalities will be working with shoulder buddies on this assignment. The cards will assist them in finding their answers. 11. Closure: Congratulate students on learning the names and locations of the continents, oceans, Prime Meridian, Equator, and North and South Poles. When students are finished, have them cut out the animal cards and glue them to pre-cut construction paper to keep.

Discussion Notes:
In order to assess my students on the understanding of the countries within North America, they will correctly label a blank map of North America. Correctly labeling a blank map of North America will show their understanding of the North America continent and map skills. In order for your child to retain this information, they must continually see it. Please go over their maps with them, to ensure retention of the information.
