Today was our first class together! We began with a review of the 5 Themes of Geography. 1. Location: The study of the physical position of places on Earth. 2. Place: Studies the physical and human characteristics of a place. 3. Human Environment Interaction: The study of how humans interact, impact, and adapt to the environment. 4. Movement: The study of how humans physically move themselves, as well as information and goods, around the planet. 5. Region: The division of the Earth into different regions that are easier to focus on and study. Kaitlin likes Geography and feels more comfortable knowing the location of U.S. states on a map than the international map. Kaitlin worked on completing a blank U.S. map. She labeled virtually everything without needing much assistance - not even a bank of the 50 state names most people need to ID. Going forward we will focus on world/international geography. Well done, Kaitlin!
