THE EXPEDITION OF LEWIS AND CLARK
English Language Arts 3rd Grade, Reading: Informational Text Standard #7: Use information gained from illustrations (e.g. maps photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur).
Educational Technology Standard #5: Use technology tools (e.g. Multimedia authorizing, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.
I used Mind Mapping to teach about English Language Arts. I focused on the who, what, when, where, and why of the expedition of Lewis and Clark. I mapped each out and talked about each subject as it pertains to the expedition of Lewis and Clark. I think that Mind Mapping is a fairly easy tool to use. I like it because there are many things that you could teach by using this tool, and it expands each topic. I think it would be fun for students to learn with this as it shows information that is related to each other.
Students, please click on the link and read through the Mind Map. Familiarize yourself with the story about Lewis and Clark and write down on a piece of paper in your own words the who, what, when, where, and why about the expedition of Lewis and Clark. Bring this paper to class tomorrow and hand it in. We will be talking more about Lewis and Clark and will be watching a video about them in class.
