• write about how climate, physical features, and natural resources influence settlement and economics.

Why?

Parents: Don't Ask Your Child, "What Did You Do in School Today?"

Instead, you could ask your child the following: 

• What is the impact of climate physical features and natural resources on where cities/population centers have developed?
• What are different climate types and what are they like?
• Show me your writing from class.
