Geography 12: 5 themes of Geography

Please finish watching the video on the five themes of Geography.  The link is below.  Please come to class with a good idea of each theme.  Below are some hints to help you formulate your definitions:

Location - gets divided into absolute and relative
Place - have both human and physical characteristics
HEI- think about relationship
Region - three types formal, functional & vernacular/perceptual
Movement - what all moves in our world?

Assignment:

Geographers use 5 themes or principles of geography to gather, organize and analyze information.

Using your notes/memory identify, describe and organize each of these 5 principles/themes into a graphic organizer (visual web/mind map).  Be sure to provide an example to help explain your descriptions (place that you know well and are able to describe (favourite holiday spot, summer cabin, grandparents city etc...).  The place may be a city or town, a park or holiday destination:  basically somewhere large enough to describe in geographic terms).

Your mind map should have three levels of information:
1.  5 organizing principles
2.  Definition of each of 5 principles/themes
3.  Example of definition from the place you have chosen.  Your example should include a description for clarity

*The purpose of this web/mind map is to show you understand the 5 organizing principles/themes
You could also achieve this with photographs/pictures connecting to the definition.
