Whenever you need help, please ask for it.

Please write your homework in your assignment book.
Please review the goal and agenda for the day (posted in the classroom).

Today in class you will 

• begin to understand how climate, physical features, and natural resources influence settlement and economics.

Why?

• To notice patterns in the world.
• To better understand why cities developed where they are.
• To better understand the connection between geography and people.

1.  If you did not on Friday, make a copy of the document linked here.

2.  With your group,  15 minutes

Double check if you had finished - otherwise, continue to define important vocabulary using the table on the second page --- These would be terms you don't know or ones you've heard of but could not describe/explain to others. As a result, members of the group could have different words. HELP EACH OTHER OUT and DO NOT be hesitant to say you don't know something. 

3. With your group, determine and write a main idea for each section:  physical features, climate, natural resources  8 minutes

4.  Check in with Mr.d'E to make sure you are understanding.  3 minutes

5.  Sketchnote:  By your self draw and color a sketchnote that gets across the main points/ideas - with specific examples and vocabulary - about physical features, climate, and natural resources. 30 minutes

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?
