Topic: Geography – The Earth and its Layers
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this lesson, most students will be able to:
- Identify the 4 different layers of the Earth
- Formulate their own definitions for they key words (air, water, continents and islands)
- Create their own visual aid and topic statements on the target vocabulary
- Make a comparison between the different layers of the Earth (for example, how does the size of an island compare to that of a continent)
