Today we started a new unit along with completing worksheets and taking notes.
Key Questions:
- How do geographers describe where things are?
- Why is each point on earth unique?
- Why are different places smaller?
- Why are some actions unsustainable?
Agenda: map usage
Introduction
- Regions are a highly contested yet important concept in the study of human geography and can be studied as they relate to space, place, and location. Regions allow us to generalize about a common characteristic so we can better group them.
- A formal region is an area with a high level of consistency in a certain cultural or physical attribute. Formal regions are uniform or homogeneous areas where everyone in that region shares common attributes or traits like language, climate, and political system.
We also worked on two worksheets where we had to list the regions of the world and the first worksheet was much easier than the second in my opinion. I just had a little bit of trouble on where regions are near Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. But I completed it and hopefully got all the answers right.
