LESSON PLAN #4
MAP SKILLS
Overall goal
To acquaint the student to maps and the globe and their use and function in a Social Studies unit.
Objective
The student will trace the voyage of Columbus from Spain to the New World.
Materials Needed
Overhead projector, maps and globe.
Procedure
On the overhead projector place a map of the Caribbean and Latin America as it is today. Have students copy this. Also, you can do the map of Spain, the Atlantic Ocean and the Route that Columbus took. After students copy this map, they can trace the Voyage in red pencils. To lend creativity to this project ask the students to put themselves in Columbus’ shoes. If they had to do all over again, how would they map out the First Voyage to a new land? Another good question, if you were a scientific whiz and wanted to discover a new “world” how would you plan this discovery let’s say in the year 2200? Having students read about the voyage that Christopher Columbus made makes for interesting background material.
