OBJECTIVE(S): Students will learn about: atlases and identifying the countries within the African continent.<br />
PREPARATION: Before the session, gather a class set of 15 - 30 atlases or clear political maps of Africa for the students to use in order<br />
to locate and name each numbered country on the map. Find the political map of Africa (which is, the brightly coloured map of Africa<br />
rather than a topographic, brown coloured map). You may need to buy some small prizes or rewards (eg: stickers, lollies, award,<br />
stamp and so on).<br />
TIME INSTRUCTION/METHODS MATERIALS<br />
5 minutes Settle the class as normal and take the roll.<br />
Introduce the lesson: Last lesson we introduced the IAPF Damien Mander. In this lesson, we<br />
will be using an atlas to identify the names of the African continent.<br />
10 minutes Instructor: Hand out 15 - 30 atlases, ask students to find the political map of Africa (that<br />
is, the one full of colours rather than the brown/orange coloured topographic map). Ask<br />
students to turn to page 8 of their activity books. Their task today is to use an atlas and<br />
methodically identify and neatly write the names of each country on the African continent.<br />
Students are NOT permitted to use the Internet or mobile phones. They can work in pairs.<br />
The first 10 people to finish neatly and accurately win a prize (eg: up to you the prize).<br />
They have 30 minutes. Their time begins... NOW.<br />
30 minutes Instructor: Students will be a bit noisy through this task. Walk around the student desks and<br />
provide help or clarification. Inform students the RED DOTS ( . ) indicate the locations of<br />
the IAPF in hot poaching spots.<br />

END OF LESSON<br />
Dismissing the class: remember to have the students stand behind their desks, pick up any<br />
rubbish and wait quietly until the students stand silently waiting to be dismissed. If they<br />
waste your time by still talking, take up their time at recess or lunchtimes or end of the day.<br />
