Introductory:
This lesson will allow teachers to introduce students to the geographic features that will be an important part of the 7th grade World History and Geography curriculum. The lesson begins with a map activity. Students will create a world map that they can use throughout the entire course. Students will then engage in a gallery walk to consider points of connection and sites of encounter between people across the world. Finally, the lesson will ask students to consider what was going on during these encounters and to develop a claim based on evidence from the sources.
