1. Do Now Conduct Card Out Record Homework
Flip in your binder to your “Why Study History?” Article to the questions answered on the back
What are artifacts? Give me some examples(answer on the back of the article)

2. Homework questions Define:
Primary Source
Secondary Source
Bias
Chronology
According to the article, what makes history “open to interpretation?”

3. Homework review
Primary sources- record of events by someone who was there
Secondary sources- record of events from someone who was not present at the time
Bias- anything that might change or influence someone’s observations, such as friendship or dislike, makes a source less trustworthy
Chronology- sequence of events in time
History is “up to interpretation”—according to the article—because our understanding and opinion of events changes over time.

4. Geography and Map Skills
EQ: Describe the tools needed to understand geography and explain how it affects human behavior

5. As We take notes today Abbreviate any words if necessary
Reword for deeper understanding
Record important information and key terms with their definitions

6. What is Geography? And, really, who cares?
Geography is the study of the physical features of the Earth, and of human activity.
Cartographers, people who draw or make maps, care about geography.

7. But why should you care about geography?
Because geography means more than just “maps and stuff.” Geography is a simple word for a very complex thing. In fact, there are five themes to help you understand.

8. Remembering the Five Themes: MR. HELP
M = Movement
R = Region
HE = Human/Environment Interaction
L = Location
P = Place

9. Movement
How did they get there?

10. Movement describes how …
People, goods, and ideas move by transportation and communication.
Travel, war and trade are all ways that things move

12. Region
How is this place like other places? How is it different?

13. Region:
Areas/regions are chunks of land that have something in common.
A region can be described by its physical features (Sahara Desert Region)
A region can also be described by its human features (Arabic-speaking region)

14. Human/Environment Interaction
How do we interact with our environment? Who lives there and what do they do?

15. Human/Environment Interaction
Human/Environment Interaction explains how people use and change their environment, or how people are changed by their environment
Ex: We change an environment by cutting down trees
Ex: We are changed by not building houses where there is frequent flooding

16. Location
Where is it?

17. Location There are two types of location:
Absolute – uses numbers to show location (like GPS coordinates)
Relative – describes the location of a place in relation to another place (next to the McDonald’s)

18. Place
What is it like there?

19. Place
You can describe a place by its physical features (made by nature) and human features (made by humans).

20. Maps
Maps are a visual representation of one or more of the five themes of geography

21. Road Map- Location and Place Regional Map- Region

22. Population Density Map- Movement/ Human-Environment Interaction

23. Topographic Map- Place

24. Compass Rose
Orients the reader to the direction, allowing them to determine relative location
Cardinal directions are North, South, East, and West.
Intermediate directions are Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest.

25. Legend
The legend is a guide for helping to read a map – colors or symbols used in the map are usually explained here.

26. Scale
The scale is usually included near the legend, and shows you how much distance the map represents
For example, on a map who’s scale is 1 inch = 20 miles, measuring a distance of say 3 inches between two cities on the paper map would mean that the actual distance is 60 miles (1 inch/20 miles = 3 inches/ ? miles)
Sometimes a scale bar is drawn for you and divided into parts to help you measure distances on a map.

27. Latitude Lines
Absolute location is found by using latitude and longitude lines
Latitude lines (a.k.a parallels) are drawn from East to West with a degree measure of North to South
The major line of LATITUDE is the Equator, which splits the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

28. Absolute Location
Longitude lines (a.k.a Meridians) are drawn from North to South with a degree measure of East to West.
The major line of LONGITUDE is the Prime Meridian, which splits the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
