In what strategy from the
workshop will you use these
sources?
How will the primary source activity enrich your
teaching of the book: how will you enhance
student literacy?
Working in pairs, students will
use different colors to outline
Asia, find and mark the
Himalayan Mountains, Tibetan
Plateau, and the 3 major rivers;
Yangtze, Mekong and Salween.
Using the map students can have understanding
of and connection to the location of Southeast
Asia, Himalayan Mountains, Tibetan Plateau,
and the three major rivers in this area.
Discussion of what impact the rivers have on
human and ecological factors, considering rice is
a major economic factor.
This dynamic planet : world map of
volcanoes, earthquakes, impact craters,
and plate tectonics /
Visual showing volcanoes,
earthquake and areas of plate
tectonics.
Students are split into groups and then asked to
use a variety of materials to recreate each
section: volcanoes, earthquakes, craters and
plate tectonics. Then research areas that these
features impact the most. Present to class as
group.
Book used for teacher to read
and then student research of
above activity.
Using oreo cookies I can show students how the
Earth shifts, then moves and breaks creating
landforms such as mountains. Hand towels can
also show areas around water shifting and
moving.
Writing - Compare and contrast
living How do we live in our
suburban areas compared to a
small rural village in China
where farming rice is prevalent.
Understanding of how people live in different
areas of the world.
Students can share their writing to create
further discussion of our views of the world.
