5 THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY: To study and understand geography, we use the 5 Themes of Geography.

1. Location: Tells where a place is.
                 A. Relative Location: Tells where a place is in relation to another place.

                 B. Exact (Absolute) Location: Tells where a place is by using Latitude and Longitude lines on maps.

WRITING LESSON #1:

                                                  HOW TO WRITE A BASIC SENTENCE TO ANSWER A QUESTION

In school, students are expected to be able to communicate effectively with their teachers. This communication includes writing answers to questions or tasks for class work and
homework. These answers should be written out in complete sentences. Learning how to write a complete sentence is the first step in learning how to complete other types of
writing assignments such as paragraphs and essays.

Before writing an answer to a question, statement, or task, you must first study the task and understand what it is asking you to do. This means that you break down the task and
look for important words (key words) that tell you what to do. By looking for and understanding the “key” word(s), you will have a better understanding of how to prepare a
good answer. The “key” word in a task tells you what to do with the topic. Often the “key” word is an instruction word. Some common instruction words and their meanings
are listed below.


         A Glossary of “Key” Words:

                  Compare:                            To state the similarities between two or more examples.
                  Contrast:                           To state the differences between two or more examples; to differentiate.
                  Define:                             To explain what something is or what it means.
                  Describe:                           To give details or features; to illustrate in words; to tell about.
                  Discuss (Explain):                  To make observations using facts, reasoning, and argument; to present in some detail.
                  Identify:                           To name in a sentence.
                  List:                               To name in a list, not a sentence.

When you are ready to write your sentence, you should begin by using the TTQA method to start your answer. The TTQA method is where you start your answer by “Turning
The Question(Task) Around.” This means that you use the task to start your sentence.

All answers must be written out in complete sentences. There are two exceptions to this rule. You do not have to write complete sentences if the task asks you to “list” your
answer or if your answer is to be placed in a box or table.

AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY:

The study of American history often demands knowledge of American geography. From the arrival of the first Americans to the Battle of Saratoga during the American
Revolution to the recent population shift to the Sunbelt States, geography has played a very important role in the development and history of the United States of America.

WHAT IS GEOGRAPHY?

Before understanding American history, you must first understand geography. Geography is the study of the physical, biological, and cultural features of the Earth’s surface.
Geography deals with the environment in which we live. Our environment is the surroundings in which we live. This includes the landforms or geographic features or physical
features of an area, the climate of an area, the temperature and weather of an area, natural resources, vegetation and soil, sources of water, and animal life. Natural resources
are things found in nature that can be used to produce goods or services. Lumber, water, minerals, oil, and soil are examples of natural resources. Landforms, geographic
features, and physical features are all the same thing. A landform (geographic feature/physical feature) is a feature of the earth’s surface. Another part of geography is the
weather and climate of an area. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a given place at a given time. In other words, it is what it is doing outside right now. Climate is
the average weather of an area over a period of 20-30 years.

Understanding geography is important to the study of history because everything that has ever happened in the human past has happened in the environment. Everything that
has happened in human history has been influenced by the geography of that specific area. This is known as “Interaction Between the Environment and Humans.” As a human,
we can either change our environment or we change to fit into it. For example, if we need to build a new road and there is a forest in the way, what do we do? If the
temperature is 10 degrees outside and we want to go out, what do we do? Sometimes, we can change our environment to suite our needs. Other times, we cannot. Then, we
have to change the way we behave.
                                                                                                                                                                      STOP 1

AMERICA’S SIZE:

The United States is a huge country on the North American continent. Not counting Alaska and Hawaii, the United States measures about 3,000 miles east to west and 1, 600
miles north to south. The Continental United States is bordered on the north by Canada, on the south by Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and
on the west by the Pacific Ocean.

In size, the United States is the 4th largest nation in the world. More than 300 million Americans live on the more than 3.6 million square miles that our country covers.

America’s size has had many effects on our history. For example, Americans are famous for inventing machines that allow fewer workers to do more work. One such invention
was the mechanical reaper. The reaper made it possible for farmers to take full advantage of the vast areas in America available for planting. Also, the great size of America
has led to many inventions for speedy and cheap transportation. The steamboat, faster trains, mass-produced cars, and airplanes are just a few examples.

America’s size also partly explains our heritage as a country that has become home for people from all over the world. People have always wanted to come here, and there has
always been plenty of room for them.

AMERICA’S LAND AND WATER:

Almost every landform, or physical feature, or geographic feature, is to be found somewhere in the United States. Physical features and geographic features are the same thing
as landforms. These three words have the same meaning. A landform is a feature of the earth’s surface. Examples include bodies of water, mountains, valleys, deserts, and
plains. Our rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water are essential parts of our country. They supply water for drinking and farming and, in some cases, for running power plants.
They are also natural highways upon which enormous amounts of goods are moved every year.

AMERICA’S LOCATION:

The United States is in the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the earth north of the equator. The United States is also in the Western Hemisphere, the half of the earth west of
Europe and Africa. The United States, along with Canada and Mexico, makes up North America. In addition, Central America and South America are part of the Western
Hemisphere. Until about 500 years ago, mapmakers did not know that the Western Hemisphere existed.

For thousands of years, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans separated the Western Hemisphere from the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, and Western
Europe. Today, of course, ships and planes crisscross the oceans in a matter of hours or days, and the United States “faces” both east and west. It faces east towards Europe
and Africa and faces west towards Asia.

For much of their recorded history, however, the North and South American continents have “faced” east toward Europe. From about 1500 AD to 1800 AD, the European
countries of England, France, Spain, and Portugal controlled much of the Western Hemisphere. Their effect on this hemisphere is still felt today.

The United States began as a few small villages on the Atlantic Coast, settled mainly by English-speaking people. For the next 360 years or so, our country generally grew in a
westerly direction – toward the Pacific Ocean, toward the setting sun, and toward Asia. This helps explain why our national capital, Washington, D.C., is closer to Great Britain
than it is to Hawaii or the western shores of Alaska. In fact, Alaska and Hawaii are so far away from the rest of the country that they usually must be presented as insets on maps
of the United States.

are to research the geographic features shown below and create a PowerPoint program based on those features. Use the internet as your primary
resource.

PROJECT GUIDELINES (REQUIREMENTS):

1. TITLE SLIDE: You must have a title slide for the program. This title slide must have the following information:
   A. Name or title of the program/project. For example: “American Geography” (Times New Roman, size 40-44)
   B. Your names. (Times New Roman, size 24-28)
   C. Your class period. (Times New Roman, size 24-28)
   D. One or two images that relate to your title or topic.
   E. Each image must have its own caption. (Times New Roman, size 12-14)

2. BODY SLIDES: You must have 1 slide for each of the geographic features that you are working on.
   A. Your group must research the following geographic features.
             1. Mountains                  3. Rivers
             2. Lakes                      4. Plains

   B. You must include the following information on the body slides.
          1. Every slide must have a title which gives the geographic feature that is discussed on the slide. Example: “Rivers of the United States”
or “American Mountains.” (Times New Roman, size 40-44)
          2. Under the slide title, you must give a definition of the geographic feature. Use www.dictionary.com for definitions. (Times New
Roman, size 24-28)
          3. You must have a map of the United States on each slide of the body. Then, research and find specific names of your geographic
feature in the United States of America. Place the images of your feature on the slides and use arrows to show where it is located in the USA. The
arrows should go from the images to the location on the map.
          4. Each slide must have 2-4 images that explain/show/illustrate the geographic feature. Keep the slides “neat” and clean looking.
          5. Each image must have a caption that explains or names the image. (Times New Roman, size 12-14)

3. END SLIDE: You must have an ending slide for the program. This end slide must have the following: “The End” (Times New Roman, size
96)
                                                                                                            16

                        C. GLOBAL GRID: LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE
                                                                 21
LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE:
Imagine that you are the captain of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. You get a message that an unidentified fighter plane is headed your way. The plane’s current
location is 28°N latitude, 50°E longitude.

Where is the plane? You would know if you understood latitude and longitude. Mapmakers long ago came up with this system of crisscrossing lines to locate
places on maps and globes.

Latitude: North-South Distance
Globe A shows a series of lines circling Earth. The lines, called parallels of Latitude, measure distance north and south of the equator.

Any place on the equator is 0° latitude. Latitude increases as you travel north or south to a maximum of 90° at each pole. Any location north of the equator is north latitude
(N); any place south of the equator is south latitude (S).

Longitude: East-West Distance
Globe B shows a series of lines running from pole to pole. These are meridians of longitude. They measure distance east or west of the prime meridian, an imaginary line
running from pole to pole through Greenwich, England.

Any point on the prime meridian is 0°. Longitude increases as you travel east (E) or west (W) until you reach 180°. The 180° meridian is in the Pacific Ocean, halfway around
the globe from the prime meridian.

Global Grid: Latitude and Longitude
Globe C shows latitude and longitude combined to form a global grid. Latitude is listed first, then longitude. For example: Aden is 15°N, 45°E.



DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions using the globes and reading.


1. What is the name for 0° latitude line?
     ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. What is the name for 0° longitude line?
     _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. To measure distance north and south of the equator, you would use lines of _____________________________________________________________________________

4. To measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian, you would use lines of _______________________________________________________________________

5. If you were at 15°S, 45°W, on which continent would you be? _______________________________________________________________________________________

6. Look at Globe C. What city is located at 15°N, 45°E?
      ______________________________________________________________________________________________
                                                                                                                                   22
7. Look at Globe C. What city is located at 60°N, 23°E?
      ______________________________________________________________________________________________
HEMISPHERES: WHERE ARE YOU?
Where do you live?
 a. Western Hemisphere?
 b. Eastern Hemisphere?
 c. Northern Hemisphere?
 d. Southern hemisphere?

Stumped? Geographers divide the globe into hemispheres to locate places more easily. (Hemi means half; sphere means globe.) Here's how the world is divided.



1. Northern/Southern:
We can also split the globe in half along the equator. The equator circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles. The Northern Hemisphere includes everything
north of the equator; the Southern Hemisphere includes everything south of the equator.




                                                                                                                               23                                    13
2. Western/Eastern:
We can divide the globe in half from the North Pole to the South Pole, giving us a Western Hemisphere and an Eastern Hemisphere. Geographers usually divide the globe at
20°W and l60°E so that most continents fall into either one of these two hemispheres.




DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions based on the globes and reading.

1. A line from the North Pole to the South Pole divides Earth into the ________________________ Hemisphere and _______________________ Hemisphere.

2. Both North and South America are in the _______________________________ Hemisphere.

3. Both Africa and Europe are in the ______________________________ Hemisphere.

4. The equator divides the globe into the __________________________________ and _________________________________ hemispheres.

5. People in the U.S. live in the _____________________________ and _______________________________ hemispheres.
                                                                                                                             24

  • 3. Unit Engagement Activity: Directions: Read the information below, study the map, and answer the questions that follow Afraid of being lost at sea? Afraid of being eaten by a sea monster? Afraid of falling off the edge of the Earth? These are fears that early explorers had to deal with when they set sail and went beyond the sight of land. The reason they had to deal with these fears is because they had limited knowledge of world geography. How they used their limited knowledge has created the history that we have today. All human events are influenced by the environment that they take place in. Understanding Geography is important in order to understand the events of history. 1.

  • 9. WRITING LESSON #1: HOW TO WRITE A BASIC SENTENCE TO ANSWER A QUESTION In school, students are expected to be able to communicate effectively with their teachers. This communication includes writing answers to questions or tasks for class work and homework. These answers should be written out in complete sentences. Learning how to write a complete sentence is the first step in learning how to complete other types of writing assignments such as paragraphs and essays. Before writing an answer to a question, statement, or task, you must first study the task and understand what it is asking you to do. This means that you break down the task and look for important words (key words) that tell you what to do. By looking for and understanding the “key” word(s), you will have a better understanding of how to prepare a good answer. The “key” word in a task tells you what to do with the topic. Often the “key” word is an instruction word. Some common instruction words and their meanings are listed below. A Glossary of “Key” Words: Compare: To state the similarities between two or more examples. Contrast: To state the differences between two or more examples; to differentiate. Define: To explain what something is or what it means. Describe: To give details or features; to illustrate in words; to tell about. Discuss (Explain): To make observations using facts, reasoning, and argument; to present in some detail. Identify: To name in a sentence. List: To name in a list, not a sentence. When you are ready to write your sentence, you should begin by using the TTQA method to start your answer. The TTQA method is where you start your answer by “Turning The Question(Task) Around.” This means that you use the task to start your sentence. All answers must be written out in complete sentences. There are two exceptions to this rule. You do not have to write complete sentences if the task asks you to “list” your answer or if your answer is to be placed in a box or table. PRACTICE YOUR SKILLS: IDENTIFYING THE KEY WORD DIRECTIONS: Analyze each of the following tasks and then answer the questions that follow. Remember to use the TTQA method when starting your answer. 1. TASK: Define the term natural resource. A. What is the key word in the task? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ 9 B. What does the key word tell you to do? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • 11. AMERICAN GEOGRAPHY: The study of American history often demands knowledge of American geography. From the arrival of the first Americans to the Battle of Saratoga during the American Revolution to the recent population shift to the Sunbelt States, geography has played a very important role in the development and history of the United States of America. WHAT IS GEOGRAPHY? Before understanding American history, you must first understand geography. Geography is the study of the physical, biological, and cultural features of the Earth’s surface. Geography deals with the environment in which we live. Our environment is the surroundings in which we live. This includes the landforms or geographic features or physical features of an area, the climate of an area, the temperature and weather of an area, natural resources, vegetation and soil, sources of water, and animal life. Natural resources are things found in nature that can be used to produce goods or services. Lumber, water, minerals, oil, and soil are examples of natural resources. Landforms, geographic features, and physical features are all the same thing. A landform (geographic feature/physical feature) is a feature of the earth’s surface. Another part of geography is the weather and climate of an area. Weather is the condition of the atmosphere in a given place at a given time. In other words, it is what it is doing outside right now. Climate is the average weather of an area over a period of 20-30 years. Understanding geography is important to the study of history because everything that has ever happened in the human past has happened in the environment. Everything that has happened in human history has been influenced by the geography of that specific area. This is known as “Interaction Between the Environment and Humans.” As a human, we can either change our environment or we change to fit into it. For example, if we need to build a new road and there is a forest in the way, what do we do? If the temperature is 10 degrees outside and we want to go out, what do we do? Sometimes, we can change our environment to suite our needs. Other times, we cannot. Then, we have to change the way we behave. STOP 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ AMERICA’S SIZE: The United States is a huge country on the North American continent. Not counting Alaska and Hawaii, the United States measures about 3,000 miles east to west and 1, 600 miles north to south. The Continental United States is bordered on the north by Canada, on the south by Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. In size, the United States is the 4th largest nation in the world. More than 300 million Americans live on the more than 3.6 million square miles that our country covers. America’s size has had many effects on our history. For example, Americans are famous for inventing machines that allow fewer workers to do more work. One such invention was the mechanical reaper. The reaper made it possible for farmers to take full advantage of the vast areas in America available for planting. Also, the great size of America has led to many inventions for speedy and cheap transportation. The steamboat, faster trains, mass-produced cars, and airplanes are just a few examples. America’s size also partly explains our heritage as a country that has become home for people from all over the world. People have always wanted to come here, and there has always been plenty of room for them. STOP 2 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ 11
  • 12. AMERICA’S LAND AND WATER: Almost every landform, or physical feature, or geographic feature, is to be found somewhere in the United States. Physical features and geographic features are the same thing as landforms. These three words have the same meaning. A landform is a feature of the earth’s surface. Examples include bodies of water, mountains, valleys, deserts, and plains. Our rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water are essential parts of our country. They supply water for drinking and farming and, in some cases, for running power plants. They are also natural highways upon which enormous amounts of goods are moved every year. STOP 3 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ AMERICA’S LOCATION: The United States is in the Northern Hemisphere, the half of the earth north of the equator. The United States is also in the Western Hemisphere, the half of the earth west of Europe and Africa. The United States, along with Canada and Mexico, makes up North America. In addition, Central America and South America are part of the Western Hemisphere. Until about 500 years ago, mapmakers did not know that the Western Hemisphere existed. For thousands of years, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans separated the Western Hemisphere from the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, and Western Europe. Today, of course, ships and planes crisscross the oceans in a matter of hours or days, and the United States “faces” both east and west. It faces east towards Europe and Africa and faces west towards Asia. For much of their recorded history, however, the North and South American continents have “faced” east toward Europe. From about 1500 AD to 1800 AD, the European countries of England, France, Spain, and Portugal controlled much of the Western Hemisphere. Their effect on this hemisphere is still felt today. The United States began as a few small villages on the Atlantic Coast, settled mainly by English-speaking people. For the next 360 years or so, our country generally grew in a westerly direction – toward the Pacific Ocean, toward the setting sun, and toward Asia. This helps explain why our national capital, Washington, D.C., is closer to Great Britain than it is to Hawaii or the western shores of Alaska. In fact, Alaska and Hawaii are so far away from the rest of the country that they usually must be presented as insets on maps of the United States. STOP 4 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ REGIONS OF OUR COUNTRY: The United States has been broken down into regions by the Bureau of the Census. There are 6 basic regions in the United States. These include the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mountain States, and West. STOP 5 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _ 12

  • 22. LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE: Imagine that you are the captain of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. You get a message that an unidentified fighter plane is headed your way. The plane’s current location is 28°N latitude, 50°E longitude. Where is the plane? You would know if you understood latitude and longitude. Mapmakers long ago came up with this system of crisscrossing lines to locate places on maps and globes. Latitude: North-South Distance Globe A shows a series of lines circling Earth. The lines, called parallels of Latitude, measure distance north and south of the equator. Any place on the equator is 0° latitude. Latitude increases as you travel north or south to a maximum of 90° at each pole. Any location north of the equator is north latitude (N); any place south of the equator is south latitude (S). Longitude: East-West Distance Globe B shows a series of lines running from pole to pole. These are meridians of longitude. They measure distance east or west of the prime meridian, an imaginary line running from pole to pole through Greenwich, England. Any point on the prime meridian is 0°. Longitude increases as you travel east (E) or west (W) until you reach 180°. The 180° meridian is in the Pacific Ocean, halfway around the globe from the prime meridian. Global Grid: Latitude and Longitude Globe C shows latitude and longitude combined to form a global grid. Latitude is listed first, then longitude. For example: Aden is 15°N, 45°E. DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions using the globes and reading. 1. What is the name for 0° latitude line? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What is the name for 0° longitude line? _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. To measure distance north and south of the equator, you would use lines of _____________________________________________________________________________ 4. To measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian, you would use lines of _______________________________________________________________________ 5. If you were at 15°S, 45°W, on which continent would you be? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 6. Look at Globe C. What city is located at 15°N, 45°E? ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 22 7. Look at Globe C. What city is located at 60°N, 23°E? ______________________________________________________________________________________________
  • 23. HEMISPHERES: WHERE ARE YOU? Where do you live? a. Western Hemisphere? b. Eastern Hemisphere? c. Northern Hemisphere? d. Southern hemisphere? Stumped? Geographers divide the globe into hemispheres to locate places more easily. (Hemi means half; sphere means globe.) Here's how the world is divided. 1. Northern/Southern: We can also split the globe in half along the equator. The equator circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles. The Northern Hemisphere includes everything north of the equator; the Southern Hemisphere includes everything south of the equator. 23 13
  • 24. 2. Western/Eastern: We can divide the globe in half from the North Pole to the South Pole, giving us a Western Hemisphere and an Eastern Hemisphere. Geographers usually divide the globe at 20°W and l60°E so that most continents fall into either one of these two hemispheres. DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions based on the globes and reading. 1. A line from the North Pole to the South Pole divides Earth into the ________________________ Hemisphere and _______________________ Hemisphere. 2. Both North and South America are in the _______________________________ Hemisphere. 3. Both Africa and Europe are in the ______________________________ Hemisphere. 4. The equator divides the globe into the __________________________________ and _________________________________ hemispheres. 5. People in the U.S. live in the _____________________________ and _______________________________ hemispheres. 24
