Objective – The student understands and can use the cardinal directions (ie north, south, east, west). Step by Step – Step 1-2. Materials: Tennis ball, overhead projector, dry erase board with clay, large paper to label the place, Markers.
On the way to proceed
1. The teacher throws a ball into the air and asks the class: “Which way did it go when I threw the ball?” Students answer “Go up,” ask them “Does he know another name for direction, especially by paper?” Explain to the class that in this lesson we will learn some new words for diversity.
2. Ask the students, “If we have to do something about how to get to school, what are some words we should use?” (ie straight, left/right, up, down, forward, backward)
3. On overhead, show a simple map of a familiar place (i.e. school, neighborhood). The map includes various images. Look at the beginning and the end. Ask students for directions on how to achieve a specific goal. They will use words like up, down, left, right.
4. Draw a cardinal rose on the map using north, south, east and west. Draw another one next to it using down, left and right.
5. Indicate both parts, and recite the name of each. Children repeat.
6. Explain North is another word for up, Auster is another word for down, etc.
7. As a type, label the room North, South, East and West. Use words and letters. North Start.
8. Explain the events that occur in both directions. (i.e. North-cold, South-warm, East-east, sunset).
9. Have 1 student stand in the middle of the room. Give him a destination. Students have directions in which to travel to reach the desired location.
10. When everyone had a turn giving/taking directions, say things like “to lead sharp, I must go to ___________.” fill in the blank
11. The teacher should reinforce these words throughout the week and encourage the children to do the same.
Actions of wealth
1. Have a large map of America to display on the wall in the classroom. Students have to list the states in the north, south, east and west.
2. Provide a large area map of America where the children can walk. Students work as peers to instruct each other. Student A writes the name of the city, but does not show Student B. Student A tells the match where the subject is to start from. The student then has to decide how to apply to the state. After they are done, the students switch roles.
Remedial actions
1. Provide a large area map of America that the children can walk on. Place the cardinal points on both sides of the paper. Have the student stand in a certain state. We ask them to walk to another country they belong to. (i.e. The teacher says “John, I found Oregon and stand on it. Now I want you to walk to Texas and while walking, tell me where you are going.” The teacher can “walk” with the students. The student will first imagine the activity.
2. On a small piece of paper, have the student draw a cardinal rose, using pictures. He must also give the names of each part. Examples of pictures: North-snow, South beach, sunrise, sunset, sunset). The paper tape should then be returned to the student’s desk.
