Hello All!
Soon we will be
beginning an integrated unit that has a theme based around global warming and
it's associated climate change. I recommend this YouTube Video as an introduction to the
topic for everyone.
I have asked in
class already that everyone visit this URL from the National Geographic website at some point over the weekend before we
formally begin the unit on Monday.
Investigating and
discussing our experiences using this National Geographic website will help begin to fulfill the following two
overall Geography curriculum expectations:
1. Describe how humans acquire, manage, and use natural resources,
and identify factors that affect the importance of those resources ;
3. Describe positive and negative ways in which human activity can
affect resource sustainability and the health of the environment;
As well as the
following specific Geography curriculum expectations as students complete the
classroom assignments associated with this website exploration:
- Identify patterns in the distribution and use of natural resources throughout the world
- Produce a report on the factors that affect the future availability of natural resources
- Present and defend a point of view on how a resource should be used
Let me know if you
have any suggestions about anything you think might be important to cover in
this upcoming unit!
Happy thoughts,
Miss Scott
