1.4.2. Goals of The Lesson
1.4.2.1. Students brainstorm a list of words that come to mind when they hear the terms more-developed countries and less-developed countries, recording their ideas under each of the two categories, and naming examples of countries (if they are able). They will do this using a podcast. Working individually, students then complete an Anticipation Guide in which they respond to a series of debatable general statements about more-developed and less-developed nations. NOTE: Alert students to stereotypes or unfounded generalizations they may have about less-developed countries and the meaning of development. Revisit the Anticipation Guide later in the learning experience, discussing what students have learned, and identifying reasons why they may have held certain stereotypes to be true.

3.4.2. Goals of the Lesson
3.4.2.1. Collaborative groups of students use a large orange as a model for the Earth, drawing approximations of the Equator, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, and the polar circles. Students then draw four lines of longitude, evenly spaced, connecting the poles. Students then cut the orange carefully down from the North Pole to the South Pole, pulling off the peel carefully without tearing it. If they try to spread the peel to flatten it on the table, they will note that lines and shapes are distorted and the peel warps and becomes crinkly. In order to get the peel to lie flat, they will need to cut a small slit from each pole halfway towards the Equator. Students discuss and reflect on what this tells them about the accuracy of map projections (Will they always represent shape, size, distance and direction accurately? Will they create certain perceptions of the world depending on how they represent each continent?).
