Prere,uisites 'Prior -nowledge(: Identification of Earths land features is new to third

graders. In 4th grade students will get in more detail of olcanic eruptions and compare continental and oceanic landforms. Students ha e +nowledge of wor+ing in groups.

the photos. This supports the lesson o$=ecti e $ecause students are getting practice in identif"ing Earths land features. /ll students need practice on wor+ing as a whole class as the" are a tal+ati e group. This will help them spea+ one at a time and listen to others answers. 2. Students will wor+ in groups to define a photo of a land feature. This is a hand on acti it" that does not re,uire technolog". In this acti it" students will clue and could e en use scissors to cut. Students will wor+ as a small team to define a land feature. 5or+ing in a small team will again help the students to listen to others! and agree to come to a conclusion to present to the class. *" presenting to the class students will all ha e a chance to share and spea+.
