12. G1: The World in Spatial Terms
1.1 Spatial Thinking
Learn about maps and be able to understand the information presented on it.
1.2 Geographical inquiry and Analysis
Read maps and be able to infer information from them.
1.3Geographical Understanding
Use the fundamentals of geography to describe regions or places on earth and how they are connected.

13. G2 Places and Regions 2.1 Physical Characteristics of Place
Describe the landform and climate of a specific place and account for human spatial patterns
2.2 Human Characteristics of Place
Describe human characteristics of places including religion, language, economic and government systems, and culture.
Describe how technology, culture, and experience influence peoples perception of places.

Your Goal for this activity is to gain as much in total resources as you can.
You can only trade in the designated trading area
Each group has a different about of their resource and it is up to you to barter to determine how much y0ur resource is worth in relation to

15. G3: Physical Systems
Describe the physical processes that shape the Earth’s surface.
Analyze the patterns and characteristics of the major ecosystems on Earth.

16. Physical Processes
Construct and analyze climate graphs for two locations at different latitudes and elevations in the region to answer geographic questions and make predictions based on patterns.
6th grade: only analyze two locations and compare
7th grade: analyze many locations and compare

17. Ecosystems
Explain how and why ecosystems differ as a consequence of differences in latitude, elevation, and human activities.
America’s location relative to the equator, effects of elevations on temperature and growing season, proximity to bodies of water and the effects on temperature and rainfall, effects of annual flooding on vegetation along river flood plains.
Identify ecosystems and explain why some are more attractive for humans to use than are others.

18. G4: Physical Systems
Explain the human activities that take place on Earth.
Understand human systems: How land is divided, where people decide to live, what communities they develop.
Cultural diffusion of ideas and products.

19. Cultural Mosaic Identify and explain examples of cultural diffusion.
6th grade: Western hemisphere
7th grade: Eastern hemisphere

20. Technology Patterns and Networks
Describe how technology creates patterns and networks that connect people, products, and ideas.

21. Patterns of Human Settlement
Identify places that have been modified to be suitable for settlement by describing the modifications that were necessary
Describe patterns of settlement by using historical and modern maps

22. Forces of Cooperation and Conflict
Identify factors that contribute to conflict and cooperation between and among cultural groups such as control/use of natural resources, power, wealth, and cultural diversity.
6th grade: Describe the cultural clash of First Peoples, French and English in Canada long ago, and the establishment of Nunavut in 1999.
7th grade: Describe examples of cooperation and conflict within the European Union.

23. Example Lesson for Physical and Human Systems.
Map and Scale Prediction Game for Canada
This is an activity which can coincide with geography notebooks that each student has to organize. The notebook incorporates a place for notes, homework assignments, and study tools.
Through this game students will predict and make assumptions through group discussion ultimately matching data game pieces with locations on a map.
Population, climate, language/culture, structures, and economics are all covered.

25. Examples of Data Playing Pieces

26. Students will place their game data pieces on what they believe is to be the right location.
A teacher will check if it is wrong or right and then the student will consult their book as answer guided questions to gather notes on that particular province or territory.
These questions can be in direct correlation to the GLCE’s standards and expectations.

5.) What would they do to solve the problem?

32. National Geographic Task
Option 1: Ask students to read "India Stems Tide of Pollution into Ganges River" from National Geographic. Lead them in a discussion of the pros (decreased pollution, improved environmental regulation) and cons (loss of employment for tannery workers, loss of money) related to the closings.
Teach the students how to use the topic boxes and search engines within the site.
