What are the Five Themes of Geography? Which do you think is the most important? Why?
Before discussing map projections, we reviewed our notes from yesterday and completed our handout on latitude and logitude. We traded our mental mapping assignment with a partner and tried to interpret each other's work. The assignment was then taken up to be graded. Mrs. Blagg returned work and explained the grading system used for daily work.
We took notes along with a PPT on the different types of map projections and their purposes. Then we began our grapefruit project! With a partner we labeled our grapefruit to transform it into a globe. Then we were challenged to create a specific map projection out of our "globe". It was messy and challenging! At the end of the activity we answered a reflection prompt about what we learned about projections.
Another handout on latitude/longitude was given for homework.
How might a projection be misleading?
