 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Student-Friendly Objective: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">We will use the highlighter tool and drag and drop labels in ActivInpsire in order to identify the continents, oceans, and equator on a world map. ||

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Procedures: || //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">On Day 1, students will be shown large white masses and participate in a group discussion to determine what they are (continents on Earth). They will then use crayons to distinguish between continents and oceans on a map (page WWL-2a in the curriculum guide). On Day 2, students will cut out labels (WWL-2b) and glue them to identify the equator, continents, and oceans on the same map used the previous day. This lesson will take place on Day 3 to reinforce the concepts being taught through the integration of technology. //
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will revisit the map that they colored and labeled in previous days. The teacher will explain that the students will be coloring and labeling a map in the exact same way but using ActivInspire software on the computer. Each student will be working on his or her own computer, possibly in a computer lab.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will access the [|teacher-created template] (ex. I-Drive—Grade 2—Carter—Templates—Where We Live—Labeling Continents and Oceans).
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will follow the directions to complete the assignment:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Use the text tool to add their name to the document.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Drag and drop labels to identify continents and oceans by name.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Use the highlight tool to identify North America, other continents, and oceans.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Select the appropriate printer and print the document.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will turn in their assignment to the classroom teacher when they are finished. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Assessment: || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">A rubric will be used to assess the students’ work on the document. The students will be assessed on their knowledge of the continents and oceans of the world as well as their ability to effectively use the technology to demonstrate their knowledge. ||
