What is geography?
We began class today with a graffiti chart - organizing our thoughts about geography and pinpointing a consensus definition.
Then we explored our textbooks by completing a Textbook Scavenger worksheet during class. These do need to be turned in for daily credit.
We took our first notes today along with a powerpoint about the basic ideas and tools of geography. We described the Five Themes of Geography (location, place, region, movement, human-environment interaction) and explored location today.
We ended class by playing Famous Amos - an activity in which you have to guess what location you are in by asking questions to find your relative location.
* Please bring a grapefruit for an activity we will do on Friday!
