    Academic Language Lesson Plan: Social Studies Content Vocabulary Title: Academic Language Lesson Topic: Latitude and

    Longitude Grade: 6th Subject/Course: MGED 3015 Designer(s): Jordan Miller

    Mrs. McMillans classes had just started the history portion of their social studies curriculum, beginning with the Age of Exploration. The standard that she covered in history was about Prince Henry the Navigator and his School of Navigation. Started with a discussion about how the main explorers (Columbus, Da Gama, Magellan, etc.) set out to find new lands, even though they did not know exactly where the land was or where they were going. I used that idea to transition into talking about how we can use latitude and longitude and other map features to locate places on a map. This way, I could address the history while bringing up important content-specific academic language that tied it all together. Stage 1- Desired Results Established Goals: Students will understand the difference between latitude and longitude, as well as locate the Prime Meridian and the Equator and parts of a map. Understandings: Students will understand how latitude and longitude can help us find locations on any kind of map where it is provided.
