"Today you will color and label a world map. You will label all seven continents and 4 oceans. Color each continent a different color and write them all in capital letters. Every one understand the directions?" "
yes!!!!" the class answers
We spent time going over all the names of the continents and the oceans. We took notes on them and then we took our blank maps and started to label.
"Remember 7 continents and 4 oceans!" All a different color and in capital letters." I reminded them.
Two minutes later: "Is Greenland a continent?" "You never said to color it each one a different color!" " Capital letters?" "What about central America? I know it is part of North America, but should I color it a different color as a separate continent?" "How many continents?" "what do you mean 4 oceans?" "Europe and Asis are the same continent right?" " Should I label them?" and many many many more!!!
Seriously?!............. why don't they listen the first seven times I repeat something?
Middle School...the awkward years!
Beauty is found everywhere!
