Discussion Questions-Group Rules • Today you will pick groups, sometimes you will be placed in groups • Every group member works to look up, discuss and write down answers • The point of this activity is for your to extend the content, make sure you understand the content and DISCUSS the material! It will help you learn it! • Don’t use the divide and conquer method. Everyone work together one question at a time. • Stay on task-no phones, other homework, or outside conversation until the questions are completed. • Every time these are collected it will be from one group member-you never know who this will be so do a good job on answering for your group!! It is a group grade!!!
Turn in your maps • Stack them all together with the climate map on top. • Make sure your name is on all 3 • Staple them • Put them on the table
World Map Directions • Label the maps based on the map list • You will have three separate maps • I suggest color coordinating-ex. for all oceans use one color, for all mountain ranges use another, etc. (color coordinating is optional) • Draw in the symbol for rivers and mountain ranges. • If places are too small to write you can label the area by its number on the list • Map items will be part of a global themes quiz that will be taken next week. • Religionhttp: //maps. unomaha. edu/Peterson/geog 1000/Mapin ks/Religion.

Global Studies A Intro Geography and how it Shapes Culture
Overview • We will be learning about many different people in the world and how their ways of life have changed over thousands of years. • Different cultures are largely shaped by geography. • Vastly different geographies equal many different types of people throughout the world. • Think about how we have dealt with different types of people in the past and present?
Essential Question: How does geography shape with culture?
Geography Chapter 1 Section 1 • The study of where people, places and things are located and how they relate to each other. • Maps, globes and charts help us to understand geography but it is much deeper than that 5 basic themesdescribes the patterns and connections in the use of the geographic space. • • Location Place Region Human Environment Interaction • Movement
Five Basic Themes of Geography 1. Location 2. Place 3. Region 4. Human Environment Interaction 5. Movement
Location • Location is where an area is located on the map or globe. • Absolute Location: grid coordinate on the surface of the earth. • Latitude and Longitude can be used to pinpoint a location. For example, the absolute location of New Orleans, Louisiana, is 30 degrees north, 90 degrees west. • Finding absolute location is the starting point for geographic research.
Absolute Location in practice Not very accurate in the beginning
Absolute Location in practice Today Satellite and Global Positioning Systems
Place • 2. Place- physical and human characteristics. What is it like? • Physical-natural environment and geographical features. Landforms, climate, soil, ecology, etc. • Human- human ideas and actions. Bridges, houses, and parks, population, ETC
Human Characteristics of Place Bridges are an example of how humans have adapted to their environment
Human Characteristics of Place Architecture
Region An area of the earth’s surface with similar characteristics. How are places similar or different? • Characteristics can be physical, political, economic or cultural • Physical characteristics-climate, vegetation , land patterns • Cultural characteristics-organized around a religion or set of customs/language • Economic characteristics-some countries may belong to a group of others because they are all third world developing nations
Region Formal Regions Functional Region. Silicon Valley
Human Environment Interaction 4. How people relate to the physical world. How people have adapted and reshaped their environment • People use what the environment offers and change the environment to meet their needs • Some aspects can’t be changed-climate • People must adapt- People who live in hot areas have air conditioning. • Not all people that live in a similar environment use it in the same way-Examples-
Ways People have changed or adapted to their environments
Human Environment Interaction can be harmful-must weigh positives and negative
Movement-how people, goods and ideas move from place to place. • People have always migrated throughout history • Trade-ideas/resources move through trade • Missionaries • Interdependence-countries rely on each other for resources that their geography does not provide • Relationships between people in different places are shaped by the constant movement of people, ideas, materials,
Reasons for Movement
Chapter 1 Section 2 Maps and Tools • Geographers need tools to study patterns • There all different types of maps to display information showing the 5 themes of geography • Example-political maps, physical maps, etc. • We will be doing three maps for Chapter 1
Importance of Maps to see Culture • Map skills • Geographers use different types of maps to understand places • This information helps geographers to see patterns and how people develop based on their environment • Surrounding environment helps develop information as people adapt to live.

Section 3 Culture
Culture • __________- all things that make up a people’s entire way of life. • Elements that make up culture: (we will study all of the elements in each region we cover) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Social Organization Customs and Traditions Language Arts and Literature Religion Forms of Government Economic Systems
Elements that Make up Culture 1. Social organization of members into smaller units. • Family- most important passes down behavior and beliefs. • Nuclear family, husband, kids. US this is all that is needed why in other countries are larger ones needed? • Extended family several generations. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. • Most families were patriarchal, only a few matriarchal.
Elements of Culture cont… 2. Customs and Traditions -rules of behavior. Sometimes social pressure is used to enforce minor rules of behavior. Written laws are about right and wrong. 3. Language_- cornerstone of culture. All have it but some do not write it. Same language tends to equal similar customs 4. Arts and Literature-Teach us about values while entertaining us. Encourage identity and teach us lessons. Promote cultural pride and unity.
Elements of Culture cont… 5. Religion- Helps people answer basic questions about life. Supports important values. • Two different types-monotheistic or poly theistic. Religious problems are an issue. 6. Government-provide for their common needs. Keeping order and protecting society. Ex. Democracy, dictatorship 7. Economic Systems-how people use limited resources to satisfy their wants and needs. What, how, and for whom questions.
How Culture Changes • Can you think of reasons that cause culture to change? • Causes of change- Technology -skills and tools people use. Ex. The introduction of cars led to suburbs then urban downturn which led to poverty and crime in cities. 2. Other Cultures-Ex. Extinction of buffalo killed the Native American culture in the plains.
How Culture Changes 3. New ideas Ex. Recycling and conservation. 4. Diffusion- movement of customs and beliefs from one place to another. They move with people. Ex. The wheel, music etc. Diffusion can be forced when groups take over others. Most people only prefer their own culture because it is familiar and comforting. We think they are they way things are supposed to be.
How Culture Changes • Ethnocentrism- judge other cultures by the standards of your own- students need to define first. • This is one of the main points of this class! Don’t judge other cultures’ problems and ways of life until you understand them!
