In this engaging lesson for students, we focus on understanding Earth's shape and its impact on climate. Working in pairs, students will discuss and answer questions based on the expository nonfiction text "A Place in the Sun." Using resources like an atlas, students will write their thoughts on paddles, reflecting on whether Earth is flat or round and how its shape affects different climates. This collaborative approach encourages active participation and critical thinking about geographical concepts.
