“Educating the Heart”

Lesson Plan Template

Overview: Brief description of the lesson and it’s purposes, i.e., a

rationale. This lesson is to explore the idea that not all

“consequences” are negative or positive. Geographers often suspend

these sorts of judgements to get as objective a view of the

consequences of human change in a landscape as possible. They

then present these often-complex projected consequences as a way to

plan changes in a landscape. “Choose the change by the

consequence(s) that people may want to experience”.

II.

Subject Area: (geography, history, civics, non-violence movement,

conflict resolution, literature) Geography and a methodology for

identifying multiple consequences to a change people make in their

landscape, while suspending judgement as to “right or wrong,

goodness of badness” of the various outcomes to the change.

III.

Grade level: Grades 6 – 7 - 8
