We continued discussing the five themes of geography today in class. Before beginning however we listened to an awesome rap about latitude and longitude to review, as well as a song about the 5 themes of geography! They were just annoying enough to get totally stuck in your head which is exactly what I was going for!! :)
We then picked up where we left off in our notes on the 5 themes. We covered location last week so today we moved on to Region and Place.
We talked about how "region" grouped people and places based on common factors such as population, history, climate, and landforms. We also began discussing "place" which looks at the physical and human features of specific areas.
We will continue discussing place tomorrow in class and will have a presentation from Mr. D in the hub about ebooks!
There is no homework, but those of you presenting current events on Friday start working on it!
