Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students find Canada on a world map and a North America map. They then identify Quebec within Canada using borders, nearby provinces, and major waterways.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given unlabeled maps, students correctly mark Canada and shade Quebec within it. They can explain that Quebec is a province in eastern Canada, not a separate country.
Common Misconceptions: Students may confuse Quebec with Quebec City or treat Quebec as an independent country. They may shade all of Canada or mistakenly choose Ontario.
How to Assess It: Give students an unlabeled world map and an unlabeled Canada map. Ask them to circle Canada, shade Quebec, and label each.
