Classwork:

Today we worked on our vocab spreadsheet, reviewed the 6 main types of thematic maps we will use for the year.  The main themes are:

1. political boundaries

2. physical geography

3. vegetation

4. climate

5. population density

6. economic activity

We also viewed a video of comparing ideas found in Fortnite with the five themes of geography.  The big ideas mentioned were

• region

• economic activity

• absolute location and relative location

• vegetation

• climate

Finally, we looked at some landforms from space using google earth.  tomorrow we will do landform charades

homework: please go on Google Earth and learn about three different landforms you want to know more about.
