This lesson is designed to teach students important elements of agricultural maps. Students will use hands on materials (soy beans, millet, wheat, and rice) to glue on their map of China.
I would highly suggest using tangible materials/crops/etc when teaching and introducing agricultural maps. In doing so, students will remember this hands-on activity and be able to note the difference from the map they CREATED and the map that is regularly shown on the overhead or hung on the wall.
This lesson goes well if students are discussing Asia/China and have been introduced to fundamental map skills already, such as key, compass, etc. However, the overall idea can be used in any other lesson introducing agricultural maps.
The lesson includes materials needed, resources, delivery methods, accommodations, objectives, and standards (Florida)
There is an optional short summative assessment and answer key at the bottom. The map itself can be used as a formative assessment.
You can also find Asia inspired lessons in my store.
The lesson delivery portion is entirely scripted. This is beneficial especially if you want to leave this lesson for a helping teacher or substitute.
