This bundle features two social studies teacher favorites used in tandem- a Continents & Oceans, Map Skills Full Unit, and a Types of Maps full unit! With both units, you will be provided with lesson plans, a student workbook with informational reading passages and an accompanying interactive notebook (activity lapbook), a PowerPoint for teacher-guided instruction, and an end-of-unit assessment. The student workbooks are also Google 1:1 compatible. Additionally, reading and literacy skill building activities are built-in throughout the workbooks.
These NO-PREP units are easy to implement with independent learners and, therefore, can be used in hybrid classrooms, with at-home learners, or fully in-person classes. Used together, these units provide a great foundation to upper elementary, social studies curriculums and include nearly 2 months worth of material!
