    their community with the places from their communities.

    I think the part of the lesson that will be most challenging to teach would be
    getting the students to understand that maps are a model of an area or place.
    3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?
    For a follow up lesson I would have the students create a map of their homes or the
    school.

    4. What can you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?
    For students who dont understand the lesson, I would review the lesson again and
    ask the students if they ever used the maps at mall when shopping with their
    parents and explain that is the same thing but we are making a map of the
    community.
    5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?
    The part of the lesson I would change is providing a list of specific places to put on
    the maps.
    6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?
    The most difficult part of the lesson was finding the correct NV State Standard for
    my lesson.
