Unit Plan: Reflection Page: Unit Plan: Geography's Role in Society Submitted By: Michel Stering

This unit plan focuses on geography's role in society. The author created original lessons incorporating resources like textbooks, picture glossaries, books, and videos. When writing the unit plan, brainstorming ideas using standards was easiest while finding age-appropriate technology resources for first grade students was most challenging. For future unit plans, the author suggests creating a digital folder to save ideas and resources found during research to reuse later and save time.

Unit Plan: Geographys Role in Society

Submitted By: Michel Stering

Unit Plan: Reflection Page


1. Where did you get the ideas and materials for this unit plan? Include website names, URLs, book titles and authors. I created these lessons from scratch and incorporated the following resources: The Houghton Mifflin Social Studies textbook Google Images Geography from A to Z a Picture Glossary, by Jack Knowlton Papa and the Pioneer Quilt, by Jean Van Leeuwan Integrating Language Arts and Social Studies, by Leah M. Melber and Alyce Hunter Video Clip: http://schoolmediainteractive.com/view/object/clip/734409999E426CB17FC10D3B702B34

2. What were the easiest and most challenging parts of writing this unit plan? When writing this unit plan the easier part was brainstorming some of the ideas once I looked at the standards. The more challenging part was finding resources that would fit into my vision of the lesson I wanted to create. I was disappointed in the lack of technology for first grade students. I wanted to find a way for students to use a website to work with maps. The websites I found were geared towards older students. 3. What suggestions do you have for yourself for the next time you write unit plans? As I was searching for resources and ideas to write my geography unit, I came across information that would not work now, but could be used for future social studies lesson plans. Next time I need to create a folder for these resources to quickly copy and paste them to review at a later time. The researching process can be time consuming and creating an idea folder on my computer will save me time in the future.
