Answer:
Discuss different kinds of landforms.
Project the Landforms map and invite volunteers to point to the different landforms, name them, and read the descriptions. Show the photo gallery with examples of these landforms around the world. Ask students to describe experiences they have had of being near any of these landforms, or seeing them in a movie, in photos, or on a map. Ask:
Which landform is the highest? (mountain)
Which landforms are flat? (plateau, plain, coastal plain) How are they different? (one is high, one is low and close to a coast)
Which are bodies of water? (bay, lake, river)
Can you name other landforms that you don’t see on this drawing? (small streams or creeks, islands)
Which of these landforms are near our hometown or in our state?
You can project your state map using the National Geographic MapMaker Interactive and find locations of the different landforms students describe.
2. Have students read a state landform map.
Project the Landform Map of Virginia. Explain that a landform map shows the locations of landforms in a place. These maps often use color to show mountains, hills, plateaus, plains, and more. They also show major bodies of water. Guide students to read the map with these prompts:
Point to different colors on the map, and have students use the map key to name the type of landform.
Find the Piedmont. A piedmont is land at the foot of mountains. Ask: At the foot of what mountains is the Piedmont located? (Blue Ridge Mountains)
Find the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Allegheny Mountains. These are part of a group of mountains that stretches all the way from Canada to Alabama. Ask students if they can name that group. (Appalachian Mountains)
Find the Potomac River. Ask: Into what body of water does it flow? (Chesapeake Bay)
3. Have students read a United States landform map.
Project the Landform Map of the United States. Have students point out the lakes, rivers, oceans, peninsulas, islands, mountains, hills, plains, and plateaus. Ask:
What are the highest mountains, marked on this map, in different areas of the country?
In which states are they located?
Of the different landform types, where do you think most of the United States’ food is grown?
The plains are where most country’s agriculture is. Point out the Great Plains, one of the largest plains in the world, located in the center of the United States. Much of our food is grown in the rich soil of this plain. Also point out the plains in California where fruits and vegetables are grown and shipped all over the country. Have students name it. (Central Valley)
4. Have students research landforms in different states.
Individually or in small groups, assign students one or two states to research the landforms. Give students copies of the state tabletop maps from the National Geographic State MapMaker Kits and provide markers, colored pencils, atlases, encyclopedias, and/or access to additional state resources such as the National Geographic MapMaker Interactive (topo layer). Have a whole class discussion to create a key for the map and to decide which information should be included. Have students mark their state map(s) showing the landforms and marking cities, parks, and other major landmarks.
