$5 - $10 Higher Education Geography Activities

IMPORTANT: Give students the option to choose not to participate in this lesson if they are anyway connected to the event. Let them know in advance earlier in the week prior to the day of the lesson and allow them to come to you in confidentiality if they wish not to participate. Make another arrangement for that student for the one class period.

This is a factual lesson and does not ask students to imagine or place themselves in others' shoes, yet if a child had a family member or experienced the event his/herself, you may not want to subject them to ANY lesson on this topic. This lesson gives a timeline of events and facts about the event.

ALSO NOTE: The closing activity incorporates a song by the Beastie Boys: "Listen, All You New Yorkers" which was written after 9/11 as a Love Letter to New York. (Look it up on Youtube) Depending on your classroom/school culture, you may or may not choose to use this. This is not mandatory for the lesson, but song and music is a good way to engage students. In saying this, the lyrics included in the lesson have been rewritten to take out questionable wording/content. i.e. LSD, Porno, Hell. These words have been replaced with other words. However, the words cannot be taken out of the Youtube video or song. The lyrics can be used without the video or song, but will not be as effective. IMPORTANT: YOU WILL WANT TO LISTEN TO THE SONG PRIOR TO PURCHASE as this song may not be appropriate for all students/classes/schools. You as the educator are responsible for gaging what is appropriate for your students and are responsible for what is presented to them.

THIS LESSON CAN BE USED WITHOUT THE SONG as it is the closing activity.

OBJECTIVE:

o The learner will become familiar with the events that lead to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York

Please note that links often change. If this happens, please type in the title of the video in a search engine or on You-

Tube; it should easily be located. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way around this issue. Please watch and use your discernment

on the appropriateness of the presentation for your students, their experiences, and their maturity levels.

Fun and exciting for all Ages - Middle School through High School

What a great way to review the geographical location of countries you study throughout the year! Students absolutely love countiries and continents Around the World game so much that they are disappointed that class is over. This world geography game has been played with my students throughout the year, usually at the later part of the year or end of the year, to reinforce students' recall of countries' geographical locations. As the intructor, I couldn't wait to play it with my students because I knew how much fun learning was going to be!

It is important for students to have a basic geographical understanding of the world around them. This game requires students to challenge each other by identifying the continents of each country presented.

Example: On which continent does Malaysia lie? On which continent does Madagascar lie? The student that is able to recall the location, moves on to travel "Around the World". This game moves quickly so that students are constantly involved and eager to participate, cheering one another on.

My students were required to learn where each country was located through study and map quizzes. It is important that students be able to identify the geographical location of each country so when they read/watch about current events, they have a geographical understanding of where the event is occurring in the world. Yes, they can always look it up, but are they going to?

Once you prepare the cards you can use them year after year.
