Overview
This lesson will introduce students to creating maps and
describing the places of animals’ home place by labeling
each to their origin. It will also introduce them to sense of
direction by picking their favorite place in the Living Desert
and giving directions starting by the entrance by using
their surroundings to guide them.
Time Duration

an hour after school starts and leave the Living Desert
an hour before school is out.
Materials
• Clipboard• Paper• map of Living Desert• Pencil
Lesson
Before the trip each student will be
provided with a black and white
map of the living desert.
They will be explained that hen my
hand goes up during our tour it will
mean that the tour guide just
provided us with information about
the animal.
ObjectivesStudent will
• Be able to identify the animals geographic
location on their map and label it
• They will be able to explain direction by using
their surroundings(such as passing the ice
cream cart turn left/west)
• Be able too identify north, south, west and
east on their map
Lesson Continued
When we arrive there, each student will make sure to
listen and watch for the hand signal to get the correct
information need to label their map. After arriving to the
school they will be able to color their map. The following
day the students will than write directions to their
favorite pace in the living desert .
The reason to why it will be better to take them on a
trip rather than in class, is because they will be able to
interact with the animals, and also it will allow them to
feel as if the are truly visiting the animals’
geographical location. Rather tan just sitting in the
classroom listening to me read about them in their
desk.
