Essential Question: How does where you live influence how you live?
Students will begin the week with applying all of their geography knowledge into a research flip book project. Students will select a city of their choice in the western hemisphere to research. In class, I will give students a flip book with identified areas of research and presentation, including location, culture, climate, landforms, vegetation and wildlife, resources, economics, cooperation and conflict, and transportation and communication. Words and pictures are required on each flip book page, as well as filling up the entire page with related content. Students can print pictures from home to include also. During various class periods, I will have the mobile table lab and school library reserved for research and work time. Finished projects will be presented in class on THURSDAY.
Here's our next unit of study:
I can make generalizations about the cultural ways of life among American Indian cultural groups in North and South America.
This week we'll be back into the blue History Alive! textbooks that students were all assigned at the beginning of the year. We will work from Ch. 2, "Native Americans and Their Land". Students will learn about the first native peoples to North America and how they adapted to the land. This is a nice flow from our geography studies and into how humans interacted with the land.
Homework
