3. Acquisition Lesson Planning Form-- Plan for the Concept, Topic, or Skill --- Not for the Day Where am I? Locate where each student is by longitude and latitude lines. I use this in the beginning of the year. It is to seat students, find out who is in the class and get computer address, telephone numbers. Have the students aware of who is in their class. Who will be their study-buddy that will help if the student is absent. The activity is also to review the idea of longitude and latitude, North, South, East & West. As a teacher it is good to be able to know who the students are that might need help. Students sit in their seat in their row. Each row is numbered from north to south and the other letters are for east to west. One piece of colored yarn is used from the sections north to south and another color yard is used from sections east to west.
