__Core Objective/Standard__
Recognize and use a map or a globe. Identify the compass rose and cardinal directions on a map or globe.

__Student learning objective__:
Today we are going to learn to identify the compass rose and cardinal directions on a map or globe.

__Materials needed__:
North, East South, and West signs for classroom Compass A variety of maps, globes, atlases Blank paper

__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
-Discuss how maps have 3 things: -Title- what the map is of -Key- tells us how to read the map and what they symbols mean -Compass Rose- shows which way is which

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
-4 Directions on Compass Rose- North, East, South, West -Show students an actual compass, if available) -Teach song- "Never Eat Soggy Waffles " -Label NESW in classroom -Show a variety of maps, globes, atlases, et cetera and have students practice finding the compass rose -Optional- Play "4 Corners" using the 4 directions. Once the classroom is labeled with the 4 directions, have 1 student sit in a chair in the middle of the room with a blindfold on. They count backward slowly from 10 while the other students are walking quietly to stand under a directional sign of their choice. Once the student in the middle gets to zero, they will call out a direction, and the students in that "corner" will be out for that round and sit quietly at their desk. TIP- The students will want to walk quietly so the person in the middle doesn't know where they are.

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
-On blank paper- have each student draw a compass rose

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
