5 Themes of Geography Project will be the focus for this week. 

 

The students have picked a location to research.  After researching all the components of the 5 Themes of Geography, the students will plan how they would like to share their knowledge.  They could create a poster, PowerPoint, or write an essay.  If they have another idea of how to share their knowledge, I would be open for their ideas. 

We will continue to work with Geography elements by focusing on Latitude and Longitude, different types of maps, and then put into practice all of our learning by working on a Geography Escape room. 

 

Once we are finished learning about the geography elements, we will work on a Five Themes of Geography project so the students can show their understanding of the learning. 

The students will practice using the Five Themes of Geography by reading a text on Dog Sledding.  

 

Next, we will move to basic Map skills, Continents and Oceans, The difference between a Map and a Glode, Latitude and Longitude, and Components on a Map.
