This google slides presentation was used with a grade 3 class in collaboration with their class teacher. This lesson happened after the students had been introduced to landforms in their inquiry unit.
After reading The Two Sisters with the students, we had a discussion about how we understand where we are and the ways of knowing our location. We had hard copies of the maps available from slide 3 and paper and pens for the students to work in groups to work on asking questions.
As part of our lesson, we took a walk around the school neighbourhood and explored landmarks, used our senses to understand our environment, and tried to notice what was new and familiar.
By sharing this lesson, we hope to continue to encourage the collaboration between teachers and teacher librarians which is fundamental to our roles.
