I had to write down the coordinates so that when the students called them I didn't have to play the game my self. I wish there was an answer key. Otherwise it was good and it made teaching latitude and longitude WAY more fun that it usually is. ha ha!!!! I will be using this every year but I would love an update with a bit more details and answer key.

Martha Boykin (TpT Seller)
Thank you, Meagan, for your recent comment. I am glad that your students had fun with this learning experience. The primary reason that the coordinates were not written down for you was that each teacher is teaching this at a different level. When students are beginning, the instructor may wish to only use/identify where the coordinate lines intersect. More advanced students may be able to play between the coordinate lines. This allows you to create your game based on the ability level of the students. My suggestion would be to create an answer sheet and file it away with the lesson plan for future use. As the students advance with this skill, create answer sheets to encourage this skill level and file those away as well. Thank you for your purchase, and I hope this will bring excitement of learning to your class for many years to come.

Great packet, thank you! One quick comment -- on Round 4, number 3 -- that is a myth attributed to Germany. The Christmas Pickle is not a German tradition. It's actually an American tradition that was started by a German immigrant! Just thought you should know!

Martha Boykin (TpT Seller)
Thanks! Good to know. I bought a pickle in a ornament store that provided this information on it. Sad that there is false information on products.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
karib75 re: Geography Social Studies 29 Exit Cards for Daily Evaluation
I purchased and downloaded your 29 Social Studies Exit Tickets. Some of the pages have the print missing due to the margins. Is this something I can fix since it is a PDF? I am not sure if there was a glitch in the margins when you uploaded the items or turned them into a PDF form???
November 13, 2012
Martha Boykin (TpT Seller)
I will upload it again. If you will email me at paschalltwin@yahoo.com. I will send you the entire word file. I don't think you can change it because it was saved as a pdf. Something must have happened with the margins when I saved it as a pdf.
Let me know if you need anything else. Sorry for the inconvenience.
For your troubles, if there is another lesson plan you would like, I will send it to you for free. My apologies. I just uploaded it this weekend.

I am sorry, I did not receive a notice that you had sent me a question. I just happened upon it when I receive one from another buyer. I will need your email to send you the lesson plan. Also, if you would look through my lessons and pick one out that you would like at no cost, please let me know, and I will send that one as well. My apologies for this inconvenience. My personal email is paschalltwin@yahoo.com if you prefer to email me your email address here.
When did you purchase this? It doesn't show up on my sales report.
The other way to see if you have it is to try to download it again. I uploaded the correct lesson plan.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Obtained a Bachelors of Education and Masters of Counseling Education degree from an accredited university. Has twelve years teaching experience, with the last ten years in middle school/public city school system. My core focus has been mainly in World Geography; although, I've had experience in teaching American History, Pre-algebra, Art, French, and Physical Education.
MY TEACHING STYLE
The basis of education is to assist in the development of students academically, emotionally, socially, and physically so that they will become functioning influential citizens of our society as they reach adulthood. There are three types of learners: tactile, auditory, and visual. In addition, it is also important to determine a students strengths within the 8 multiple intelligences: Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Visual-Spatial, Musical, Naturalist, and Logical-Mathmatical. I implement a hands-on/discovery approach to teaching/learning. If the student is actively engaged in the learning process and can claim ownership to the what they have learned, success will be evident.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Bachelors of Education and Masters of Counseling Education
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I have a Bachelors of Eduction (1995) and a Masters of Counseling Education (1997). I specialize in middle school Geography and social studies curriculum. I believe students need to develop advanced cognitive abilities such as problems-solving and higher-level thinking. Having had a variety of learning levels in my classroom, my lessons can be easily modified for those who need extra help and those who need more advanced work.
