Geographer's Tools Differentiated Lesson
When introducing geography to 9th grade students I first completed a pre-test about students understanding on the basic tools of geography (latitude, longitude, scale, 5 themes of geography, absolute location, relative location etc.). I quickly realized from the pre-test that there is a wide variety of understanding these tools of geography. Based on this data, I collaborated with my talented and gifted teacher and created an extension assignment for students who needed to be pushed when it came to geograhy (geo-caching and the Native American analysis), I also created two tiered lessons for students to get the support they needed on the different components of geography. I used color groups to identify who would complete which assignments. The blue group completed the 5 themes of geography song assignment and the confluence activity. The pink group completed the Chapter One textbook work and the Hurricane Katrina analysis activity. Through these activities students were able to learn about the various tools of geography at a level that challenged them at an appropriate level based on the data collected from formative assessments and pre-assessments.
