World Geography Lesson Plans for Virginia SOLs

This page provides links to various posts associated with teaching and lesson plan content, objectives, and activities related to the World Geography SOLs. The material contained here is for educational purposes.

These lessons will probably never be updated beyond the 2012 WG SOL Standard. In that regard, I’ve organized the lessons by region and topic/keyword.

Some lessons are free, some are premium.

Madagascar Video and Animal Research Assignment: Students research an animal. They then complete a reading activity and compare what they know about animals to how the video displays them.

This was an end-of-the-year activity that my students enjoyed.
