2. The teacher will start talking about a compass rose and how it has more directions than just north, east, south, and west. It also has northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. 3. The students will create their own compass rose using the template on the worksheets titled Your Compass Rose. The students will read and follow the directions. 4. As this is happening, the teacher has already created a map for the students to use and is putting it up for students to see. Once the students have completed making their compass rose, the teacher will tell them the instructions. I have created a map for you look try to find objects on. You will come up in groups and find the objects and tell me in which direction they can be found. If your group is not up at the map you will be working on the different worksheets at your table. Each group will take turns coming up to the map. 5. There are three worksheets for the students to complete while at their desks: Reading a Map, Am I Turning in the Right Direction? (problems 5-8), and Can you make a pretend compass? 6. CLOSURE: The teacher and the students will go over the other four cardinal directions. The class will then go over the answers to big map. If the students have any problems with the directions, the teacher will address them now. F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? The teacher will use the completed worksheets to measure student understanding. The teacher will also make sure the students are using the correct direction to locate objects on a map. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. If the students can successfully complete the worksheets, then they have an understanding of the concepts of the lesson. If they are able to locate and describe the proper location of objects on the map, they will have an understanding.

G. Reflection: (answers to assignment specific questions) 1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? I think it will be the easiest to teach the other four cardinal directions. The students have already learned the main four, so, they should be able to learn the others. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? I think it would be most challenging to teach the students to locate objects on a map. They may have never used a map before, so it may be something new to them. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? This lesson has a little bit of map reading. You can follow up or extend this lesson by having students read maps. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? The teacher can spend one on one time with the students who do not grasp the concepts. 5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? Nothing because hopefully it was explained well

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part was trying to figure out what the students sitting at their desks would do. They cannot just sit there while they wait their turn to go up to the map.
