Topic: Map Scaling

New words:

·         Map

·         Scale

·         Represent

·         Distance

·         Measure

Teaching aids:

·         Poster  

·         Crayons

·         Plain papers

·         Markers

·         Charts

·         Flashcard

Learning outcomes: At the end of the lesson, students can:

Ø  Explain what a map scale represents

Ø  Identify different types of map scaling

Ø  Use a scale to calculate real distances between two points on a map

Introduction

15 minutes

Recapitulation (5 mins)

·         Ask students to recall what they know about money

·         Brainstorming their ideas

Warmer (CLASSROOM TRESSURE HUNT)

· Create a simple treasure map of your classroom or schoolyard. Mark a few "locations" (e.g., the teacher’s desk, a window, the door, a bookshelf).

· Add a simple scale to the map (e.g., 1 cm = 1 meter).

· Give students a list of clues (e.g., “Find the spot 3 cm north of the teacher's desk on the map”).

· Students use rulers to measure and translate map distances into real locations using the scale.

· The first student or team to find all locations correctly and reach the “treasure” wins.

-           

Words:

Introduce topic:

·         Allow students to guess the topic from the warmer game

·         Introduce the topic to students

·         Explicit their prior knowledge about the topic

·          Post the brief note about the topic

·         Read and explain the note

· Map scaling shows how distances on a map match real-life distances. It helps us understand how far places are from each other. For example, if 1 cm on a map equals 1 km in real life, we can use a ruler to measure and find real distances easily.

Here are the three main types of map scaling:

Verbal Scale (Word Scale):

-          Describes the scale in words.

-           

-          Example: "1 cm equals 1 kilometer."

Linear Scale (Graphic Scale):

-          A line or bar on the map that shows distances.

-          You measure with a ruler and compare it to the bar.

Ratio Scale (Representative Fraction):

-          Shows scale as a ratio or fraction.

-          Example: 1:100,000 means 1 unit on the map = 100,000 units in real life.

 

Development

20 minutes

·         Distribute students into 5 groups with their worksheet

Grp 1: Map Distance Challenge

Measure distances on a map and convert using the scale.

 Give each group a map and ask them to find real distances between landmarks using a ruler and the map's scale.

  • Skills: Measuring, converting scale, teamwork.

2. Design Your Own Map

 Create a simple map with a chosen scale. Students draw a map of the classroom, playground, or imaginary town and include a scale bar.

  • Skills: Creativity, scale application, spatial awareness.

3. Scale Match-Up Game

 Match scale types to examples.Provide cards with different scale types (verbal, ratio, graphic) and matching examples. Groups must match them correctly.

  • Skills: Recognition of scale types, classification.

4.     Map Treasure Hunt

 Use a scaled map to locate hidden "treasures." Hide clues or small items around a room or area. Groups use a map with a scale to find them by measuring and calculating real distances.

  • Skills: Applying scale, problem-solving, teamwork.

5.     Scale Conversion Relay

 Convert distances between different scale types. Groups race to convert distances given in one scale (e.g., 1:50,000) into verbal or graphic formats.

  • Skills: Math application, speed, accuracy.

Application

20 minutes

v  Individual work problems

Measure and Convert

  • Task: Measure the distance between two points on a map using a ruler, then use the given scale to find the real-world distance.
  • Example: If 1 cm = 2 km and the points are 3 cm apart, the distance is 6 km.

2. Label the Scale

  • Task: Look at a blank graphic scale and fill in the correct distances using the given ratio (e.g., 1 cm = 5 km).
  • Skills: Understanding graphic scales, basic math.

3. Match the Scale Types

  • Task: Match scale descriptions (verbal, ratio, graphic) with their correct names.
  • Example: Match “1 cm = 1 km” with “Verbal Scale.”

4. Draw a Simple Scaled Map

  • Task: Draw a small map of your room or desk area using a basic scale (e.g., 1 cm = 1 foot).
  • Skills: Measuring, drawing, using scale.

5. Scale Sort  ing Worksheet

  • Task: Sort a list of scales into categories (small scale vs. large scale).
  • Example: Decide whether 1:10,000 or 1:1,000,000 shows more detail.

Grade Level: Year 6

Subject: English

Duration: 60 minutes

Topic: Narrative Texts – Structure and Elements

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1.    Define the characteristics of a narrative text (plot, characters, setting, theme).

2.    Understand and identify the structure of a narrative (beginning, middle, end).

3.    Analyse a short narrative to identify key elements (characters, conflict, resolution).

Teaching resources: Story analysis worksheet, markers, p/papers, marker, whiteboard, Narrative structure chart, printed short story.

 

 

 

1.   Presentation (15 minutes)

-      SMILEY Face: ____ _____,____ _____ _____ _____ ____ ____ ____

-      Lets students guess any letter to fill in the gaps

-      Begin with a class discussion: “What is a narrative?”

-      Ask students to name stories they’ve read or watched and identify what made them interesting.

-       read a paragraph from a familiar story) to illustrate the concept.

-      Briefly introduce key elements of narrative:

    • Characters – Who is in the story?
    • Setting – Where and when does it happen?
    • Plot – What happens in the story?
    • Theme – What is the main message or lesson?

2.   Practice (20 minutes)

  • Explicitly teach the structure of a narrative:
    • Beginning: Introduces characters and setting.
    • Middle: Presents a conflict or problem.
    • End: Resolution of the conflict and conclusion.
  • Display a visual organizer showing narrative structure (e.g., story mountain).
  • Discuss each component with examples.
  • Distribute a simple narrative text (e.g., “The Lion and the Mouse” fable).
  • Read together as a class or in pairs.

3. Production (20 minutes)

  • In pairs or small groups, students complete a worksheet analyzing the story:
    • Identify the characters, setting, plot, theme.
    • Highlight the beginning, middle, and end.
    • Describe the conflict and resolution.
  • Groups share findings with the class.
  • Teacher facilitates discussion and gives feedback

4. Conclusion (5 minutes)

  • Recap the key elements and structure of a narrative.
  • Ask reflective questions:
    • “Why is it important to have a clear beginning, middle, and end?”
    • “How do characters and setting help shape the story?”
