Presentation Steps: How will the lesson be presented?
1. The teacher presents students with a rural landscape. This may be a
drawing, series of slides, map of an area or overhead projection. This data
should be one that displays a minimum of human activity in it (a rural
landscape).
2. The teacher asks the students to observe the visual and make some
observations about it. Ask students to tell what they based the observations
on from the data presented.
3. Tell the students that this is a “rural” landscape. Ask them to then define
and list what some attributes of a rural landscape are. Collect the responses
and record them in some manner best suited to the class.
4. The teacher next explains that the population of the area surrounding this
landscape has been growing in numbers. Then ask the students to
hypothesize what changes may occur in the landscape. Again, collect and
record the student’s responses.
5. Ask the students to then draw and color a map or other graphic to illustrate
a change that they have imagined. This may be done individually, in teams of
two or small groups.
6. Once they have done this, ask the class to identify any results, affects, or
“consequences” of the change they chose to illustrate. Ask the students to
speculate on the causes or reasons people would likely make the changes in
the “rural” landscape, again giving explanations for the ideas the students
