Geography PowerPoint Presentations (by date, oldest first)

This 71-page no-prep, no planning document has everything you need to introduce your students to geography, cartography, mapping and navigation - En Français!

This cross-curricular pedagogical document will provide you with a 37-page slide deck, complete with terms, definitions, examples, discussion prompts, images, games and activities. It also includes a 33-page student workbook complete with printable worksheets, activities, partner work, research, a final project as well as answer keys, a final project rubric and success criteria.

My slides are never babyish and are suitable for grades 4 through 7. They are suitable for students "en adaptation scolaire," or as a simple introduction to concepts covered in grades 5-7. I teach grades 5 and 6, and this works wonderfully for us!

The first half of the document is your teachable slide deck. In it, you'll find:

• A "Would you rather" style game as a warm up!
• A reflection question.
• A discussion prompt to illicit prior knowledge.
• An in-depth look at some of the earliest maps, their history, their evolution, their purpose, the material used and the process behind them.
• A look at modern mapping and their multiple uses, multiple purposes and multiple features.
• An explanation of scale and "scaling" a map.
• An in-depth look at grids, reticles and the map network with an emphasis on lines of longitude and latitude, the poles, the equator and the meridian.
• Discussion prompts about the measurement of diameter on our spherical planet.
• A look at the different hemispheres (N, S, E and W.)
• Group discussion prompts about continents and how we read a map of the world.
• Fun Facts about the Canadian provinces.
• Explanations (with visuals!) of different reference maps (physical and topographic).
• A comparison of "good" maps and "bad" maps and the need to be precise and to follow specific criteria when it comes to map-making.
• An activity on labeling Canada.

In addition to the Slide Deck, you'll find a student workbook with loads of printable activities that are excellent to leave with a substitute teacher or to use yourself. It comes with a "cover page" for their binders or duo-tangs. In the student workbook, your students will find:

• A jigsaw activity using Google Maps (group activity)
• A visual aid that highlights different components of a map with examples.
• "Comment utiliser une échelle?" - An activity to practice measuring distance using scale.
• "Comment te rendre chez toi?" - A quick warm-up map-making activity for students to "draw" their way to school.
• "Sais-tu utiliser une échelle?" - A series of distance-measuring activities using the provincial map of your choosing. I've included sheets for all Canadian provinces.
• "Guide touristique de chez vous!" - An activity on finding and measuring distances between their favorite landmarks, amusement parks, shopping and activities in their province.
• "Road Trip! Calculer le temps nécessaire" - An activity for students to calculate the time needed to travel (incorporates algebraic representation and uses the formula T = D/V).

Please Note: The instructor/teacher will need to know and understand the concept of REGIONS as this is a concept difficult for young brains to grasp. Even though we simplify it for students, we will need to be ready to verbally or visually explain the concept. Not all students are ready for this high-level concept. This lesson simplifies it as much as possible, but the concept, no matter how simplified, still requires high-level thinking skills and teacher guidance. It takes practice to identify the formal, functional, and perceptual regions. If the instructor/teacher doesn't understand regions, it will be difficult to instruct. This lesson is much better than our textbooks provide. Must be modified to fit your needs, this may mean omitting some of the activ_ities included in_ this lesson.

This is a group reading activity with a graphic organizer comprehension activity, an at-home interview assignment (Optional), and a Powerpoint for assessment.

Updated to Include a:

-Page Long Version of the Reading Activity

-Page Shorter Version of the Reading Activity

Help our students understand the complicated concept of "regions."

I often found when I was teaching the 5 Geographical Themes, students grasp location, place, human-environment interaction & movement (ideas, people, goods), but they struggle with regions: formal, functional, and perceptual.

What is the difference between a formal, functional, and perceptual region?

What is a nodal point? How can there be regions that cannot be measured and are specifically based on feelings and perceptions? Can all regions be found on a map? Do they always have a clearly defined boundary?

This PowerPoint provides 7 scenarios in which students are required to decipher whether it is a formal, functional, or perceptual region. You can use it as an introduction or review. You may implement this in different ways.

INCLUDES:

o Detailed Teacher Instructions

o Intro Video Suggestion

o Intro Reading Activity

o Graphic Organizer Activity + Answer Sheet (Puzzle)

o Powerpoint Game

o Extension Activity

OBJECTIVES:

o The Learner will understand the concept “region.”

o The Learner will determine the difference between a formal, functional, and
perceptual region.

o The Learner will be able to identify a formal, functional, and perceptual region.

MATERIALS:

o Technology to have students watch the suggested intro video.

o Student Group Reading Assignment (Included)

o Technology to display material for the class to view & discuss

o Paper & timer to create a list needed for the reading activity (Action 1: Listing Game)

o Atlases for each group needed for the reading activity

o “Can You Identify the Type of Region?” PowerPoint Review Game (Included) & technology to show it
