Final Project

Lesson Plan Title: Fly Me To The Earth

Concept/Topic to Teach: Teaching first graders the different continents and cultures with a

visual of a globe that they will make.

General Goal(s): Students are to learn about where each culture is located within a hand made

globe.

Specific Objectives: Students are to make a globe out of a balloon, paper mache and decorate it.

They are to gain the knowledge of where every continent is along with what culture is there.

Required Materials: Balloons, Paper Mache(already mixed and ready to use), Markers, Paint(if

necessary), Continent Outline Copies, Plastic Cup to hold balloon in place, Old T-Shirt from

home or will be provided one in class, and Strips of cut up Newspaper.

Anticipatory Set(Lead-In): A discussion will be given before the lesson to make sure they know

where each culture should be around the world. Students will write down every possible culture

they can come up with so they can use for their globe later on along with a list of the continents.

Step-by-Step Procedures: 1) Blow up balloon to a nice circular shape as possible.

2) Grab a strip of newspaper and dip in already mixed paper mache.

3) Place strip of newspaper with paper mache on balloon.

4) Repeat third step until the balloon is covered completely, only leaving the button where it is

tied up clear.

5) Let it dry.

6) Cut out Continent outline.

7) After dry, place Continent cutout on balloon covered paper mache and trace the outline on it.

8) Color balloon covered paper mache with markers or if students would like to use paint

instead.

9) Label Continents.

10) With a Pencil, pop the balloon from where it is tied and carefully remove balloon from inside

the paper mache Globe.

11) Lastly, Cover the button of Globe carefully with strips of paper mache.

Plan For Independent Practice: Students are to take a world map pretest with their globe to get

them familiar with where each culture lies on the globe and continent. They will then take the

normal test without their globes(which will be put away in cubbies) to test their memory and

knowledge.

Closure(Reflect Anticipatory Set): In the end, students will have a better knowledge of each

culture they have learned and the continents of the Earth.

Assessment Based On Objectives: Students are to assess their ability of memory and self

knowledge about the Earth and different cultures. Grades are based on how participation, test

results, and effort put in making Globe.
