Geography Sub Plan (No Prep): Landforms Island Field Guide, Grades 5-8

Your students are park rangers on a made-up island, the Isle of Corrandel. A shaded relief map shows 12 numbered features, and students match each number to a landform from a word bank: mountain, valley, strait, plain, canyon, plateau, isthmus, lake, delta, peninsula, bay and archipelago. Then they write 4 field guide entries (where it is, what it looks like, one way people could use it) and plan a 5-stop hike from the Ranger Hut that walks only on land and names the highest stop from the map's height shading.
