Free download for phase 1 of planning a concept-based lesson by Lynn Erickson's teaching theory. Download and brainstorm an essential question.

Visit our Blog How To Teach Geography

There is no correct way to teach geography, but there are some best practices. When I began my teaching career in geography 26 years ago in Memphis City Schools, Memphis, TN, the district was focused on concept-based teaching — teaching to the big ideas & conceptual-based learning based upon Lynn Erikson's concept-based instruction. At first, I found it very challenging to implement this strategy into my lessons as it was a new concept and it significantly varied from the way we had all been presenting content to our students. It took persistence; it took patience, but I believe it was a huge part of why my students enjoyed geography and were able to grasp it. An example of this would be teaching the concept of "human population" and then applying this concept to world population ideas and issues throughout the world such as:

Push and pull factors of migration

Cartograms, and population density maps

Causes and outcomes of population growth and decline

China's one-child policies due to overpopulation

Africa's population decline

Europe's population decline, etc.

This conceptual-based learning worked well, and students were learning and grasping the concepts and material. It required me to spend more time on the concept with my students, but it gave them a BIG PICTURE of how variables affect population and how population trends work and are influenced. It made them think at higher levels preparing their pathways for high-level learning and working to strengthen their brain connectivity. It gave them a different viewpoint of looking at geography, rather than focusing on one small concept at a time.

Just to give you an idea of how I would/do begin planning each concept-based lesson, I would begin with a brainstorming bubble, and in the center circle, I would type in an essential question. All an essential question (they always have to use big terminology) is an open-ended question that educators use to spark student interest. I say, let' not make this harder than it has to be.

Here are examples of essential questions specific to geography:

How have Revolutions impacted our world? (This could be taking a look at the meaning behind "revolution" and empowering student understanding of this "concept" through discussing many different types of revolutions such as the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution in the United States and Europe, the Russian Revolution, the Cultural Revolution, the Sudanese Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution of 1949.)

Does music create culture, or vice versa?

Who is an American?

How can learning about other cultures teach us about our own?

What is the relationship between climate and natural resources?

Need an idea for an essential question? There is so much information today on essential questions than there was when I first started teaching. Simply, type into your search engine: "Essential questions for geography." and then align it with your curriculum. Others have "essentially" (no pun intended) done this work for you over the years.

In this lesson, students will gain a frame of reference for understanding how multiple factors can influence how history is written. This resource will prompt students to be able to answer not only “What happened?” BUT-- “How do you know?” and “Why do you believe your interpretation is valid?”

Critical questions are posed;

• What kind of factors can influence how history is written?
• What is a primary source? What is a secondary source? Strengths and limitations of each?
• Does one's analysis of recent historical events differ from distant past events?

Students will explore these important questions through the study of Christopher Columbus. Through the analysis of primary & secondary sources, students will re-examine the way in which the Columbus story has been portrayed in mainstream literature. A culminating Venn diagram activity will complete the lesson.

Two Optional Extension activities include;

#1. Analyze Excerpts from Children's books; Identify the different possible ways in which the following images and/or text can influence a reader’s understanding of Christopher Columbus and the Taino culture.

Directions: Use the textbook from pages ___-____ to find information about these Mesoamerican Emperors. This is a way for you to take on the role of them in a modern form to show off their achievements. Fill in the textbook part with what the book says. Imagine that you lived during these events and “tweet” a response to them or as them. The first one is done for you. Make sure to include a clever name for the author. But don’t forget to cite your source in the first column by telling me where you found the information. This is a great way to have your students grab the important information and rewrite it in a creative way! It's truly an easy way to spice up your lesson without a ig project.

Help your students practice listening and the summary strategy of identifying 3-4 key words. After they identify the words, they use those words to construct a non fiction summary. Sentence starters provided for the written summary.

A great strategy for ELL students, SpEd and all kids.

These graphic organizers are a great resource to use when reading content, taking class notes, for formative assessment, or incorporating into other assignments and activities. These can be used on a daily basis and in a variety of settings. Ready-to-pint!

It has been proven that students who are able visually to organize the content retain it better. These 10 organizers will teach students how visually organize the information presented in social studies, science, math, and language arts. I use these on a daily basis to help students learn how to organize the material being covered. The T-Note organizer is a great training tool to use in teaching students how to create clear and neat notes. It also encourages students to inquire. Once you purchase these, you will be able to save them to your computer and tweak them to use in your classroom.

❤ This resource includes 12 Protest Activities and Graphic Organizers to help students examine and analyze the purpose of protests, causes and effects of protesting, the difference between violent and non-violent protesting, whether the advantages of peaceful protesting outweigh violent protesting, and how protesting can make a difference in addressing the problems our society faces.

❤ These activities can foster great discussions and help students explore questions like “What is the root cause of violence?” “Are nonviolent protests always the best way to achieve change?”, “Is violence ever justified?”, “What factors make protests effective?”, etc.

❤ These activities are also designed to help students analyze past and current protests and demonstrations and consider actions they might take around the issues they care about. Students have opportunities to reflect about what can make their voices uniquely powerful as well as how they can have a real impact on society.

❤ The activities contain breath-taking borders, fonts, and clipart to appeal to your students and make the display of students’ work on bulletin boards visually appealing.
