• Lesson Objectives: From the presented materials and web links, students will learn the names, the locations and countries of

the world's continents .

OutcomesAt the end of this lesson, all students should be able to: • Understand how the world is divided in continents• Named with confident the 7 continents of the world• Locate with assurance the continents on the world map• Arrange the continents from smallest to biggest or vice versa, whenever asked to recall that knowledge.
