Activity 1 - Where in the World? Intro activity - Who am I in theworld?

To give children an understanding of place and spaceTo encourage learning around using maps, land forms, culture and identity

Record areas in the immediate environment and places in stories using simple picture maps, modelsand other methodsDevelop some awareness of maps Identify land and sea on maps and globes

Complete the 'Map of Me' Questions in which you will identify things that were important to you (5 -10 minutes) Use your learning about landforms and the different parts of maps to create a map of an island thatillustrates your life (20 - 30 minutes) Students can be asked to include at least 10 different map symbols and represent at least 7 differentlandforms on this island to describe aspects of their personalities (depending on how far into thecurriculum they are. You can also ask to include the different environments (Natural, Human, Built,Social, Cultural environments) After they have completed their symbolic representations, they can design unique compasses andadd map keys to explain their different land features (5 - 10 minutes) The final products will both be personal and beautiful representations of each individual student. Example maps of islands can be found on the next page. Score the students maps / islands based on the marking sheet found in Appendices. Once completed, show the students the world map (See Appendices) and ask them what they thinkother children’s islands would look like around the world. What would someone’s island living in anAfrican country look like for example? In the next lesson, we’ll look at the Badjao Tribe in the Philippines.

The Philippines is an archipelago, or string of over 7,100islands, in southeastern Asia between the South China Seaand the Pacific Ocean.Given its geography, the Philippines is the fifth-largestcoastline in the world at 22,540 miles. It is also the home ofsome of the most beautiful white sand beaches and marinediversity.More than 25% of the Filipino population lives below thepoverty line.In November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan was one of theworst disasters to hit the islands. It affected more than 16million people, claimed 6,000+ lives and caused nearly 40billion Philippine pesos in infrastructure and agriculturaldamage.1 EURO = 57.091 Philippine Peso (can you work out how muchTyphoon Haiyan caused in Euro in infrastucture andagricultural damage?)Typhoons aren’t the only natural danger: The Philippines liesin the “Pacific Ring of Fire,” making it prone to earthquakesand volcanic eruptions.Because of the country’s geography and physical environment,it’s also susceptible to droughts, flashfloods and landslides.Despite some of the slowest internet speeds on the planet (2.5mbps), the Philippines has held two titles: texting capital (late1990s and early 2000s) and, currently, social media capital ofthe world.The “jeepney” is a popular mode of public transportation anda true Filipino innovation. The uniquely decorated vehicles aremade with surplus engines left behind by American GIs afterWWII.
