GEOGRAPHY CONCEPT BASED PLANNING GUIDE BRAINSTORMING BUBBLE (PART 1) FREE

By Geography & Math Made Easy

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.

Mock Legislative Session Simulation- Write your own legislation Bill Fair!

By History Guru

Product Description for Mock Legislative Session Simulation- Write your own legislation Bill Fair!

Make civics exciting and practical for students using this Social Studies simulation emulating the Legislative Branch. This Legislative Branch Simulation has become one of the highlights in my government class. Students love the opportunity to write bills in hopes of influencing change in their state and local communities. Students chose to solve a state or local problem, research the problem, and work through a solution. But first: students will look at a sample bill and participate in a Readers Theater simulation of the process of each round: Opening Speech, Non-Debatable Technical Questions, Pro Debate, Con Debate, and Closing Speech. Students will then look at the prep sheets that align with the sample bills of how they can encourage debate by planting questions, pro debate, or con debate on the legislative floor. Each round should last about 60 seconds! You could even JUST use this part for the simulation and not do the Bill Fair portion where students write their own bill. It's just that detailed. Students then work through the worksheets that make it easy for the teacher- because they explain it all! Pick and chose which parts you want the students to do. Learning about the law-making process is good, but actively being engaged in the process is great!
