Lesson Plan: Heograpiya ng Daigdig (Geography of the World) Grade Level: 8th Grade

Introduction: - Begin the lesson by asking students what they know about geography and the world. Write their responses on the board. - Explain that today’s lesson will focus on the geography of the world, specifically the different continents, major landforms, and climate zones. - Share the learning objectives for the lesson: 1. Identify and locate the continents on a world map. 2. Describe major landforms found on each continent. 3. Understand the different climate zones and their characteristics.

Lesson Outline: 1. Continent Identification (15 minutes) - Show a world map on the board or using a projector. - Introduce the seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica. - Use a video resource like this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DSMZ8b3LE] to engage students in learning about the continents. - Distribute a blank world map worksheet and ask students to label the continents.

1. Major Landforms (20 minutes) - Discuss major landforms found on each continent, such as mountains, rivers, deserts, and plains. - Use a video resource like this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uBcq1x7P34] to provide visual examples of landforms. - Provide a worksheet with a list of landforms and ask students to match them with the correct continent.

2. Climate Zones (20 minutes) - Explain the different climate zones: tropical, temperate, polar, and arid. - Use a video resource like this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v2T0kXZLss] to help students understand climate zones. - Provide a worksheet with a world map and ask students to color each climate zone.

Questioning: - Throughout the lesson, ask students questions to check their understanding and engage them in discussions. Some sample questions include: 1. Can you name the seven continents? 2. What are some major landforms found in Asia? 3. Which climate zone is characterized by extreme cold temperatures? 4. How do climate zones affect the types of plants and animals found in different regions?

Assessment: - To assess students’ understanding, collect and review their completed worksheets. - Use a rubric to assess their ability to identify continents, match landforms, and correctly color climate zones. - Provide feedback to students on their strengths and areas for improvement.

Differentiation: - For students who need additional support, provide a labeled world map to reference while completing the worksheets. - For students who need a challenge, ask them to research and present additional information about a specific continent or landform.

Plenary: - Summarize the key points covered in the lesson, including the continents, major landforms, and climate zones. - Ask students to share one interesting fact they learned about the geography of the world. - Encourage students to continue exploring and learning about different countries and cultures.
