Unit 6 A globe and map of the world Learner’s Book page 49


Unit introduction


• We will now learn about the world and how it is represented. The easiest way to show the Earth in a three dimensional way is to use a globe, which is a round ball with a scaled map of the world on.


• We will also learn that it is not always practical to carry a globe with us, therefore a map is a flat representation of a globe. To make it easier for learners to understand the concept, we use the example of a peeled orange skin to show how the surface of a round object can be shown on a flat piece of paper.


• We will also learn about the seven continents and the oceans around the world, with specific emphasis on Africa and South Africa.


Teaching ideas and tips


• Show learners a globe and ask the question: How do we get a flat map from the globe?


Resources


A globe is a very useful resource; an orange and a sharp knife to do the demonstration of globe to map; a wall map of the world; atlas maps of the world; blank maps of the world for learners to fill in – see page 40 of Junior Atlas Teacher’s Resource Book (no country boundaries needed) or the map on the next page.


• Demonstrate using an orange. Carefully cut the skin off in one piece as shown in the Learner’s Book. This is a very convincing demonstration!
