Five Themes of Geography Group work:

 Group activity: 

1. Start with a conversation about what you’ve read, heard, and talked about in the lesson so far. Try to ensure that all members of the group understand the topic. 

2. Next, talk about how you will take on this task using the chart paper provided: 

Inventory of the Place Where You Live  • create a rough map that lists the natural (physical) characteristics of Revelstoke  • mention major landforms, vegetation, waterbodies (be descriptive and use names if you know them)  • add cultural (human-built) features and characteristics as well  • be thorough - try to work through all possibilities carefully

3. Now do it... part of this activity is learning more about how your group process works. 

Assignment (individual or group): Over the next few days, take 5 pictures to show the 5 themes of geography. They can be from around the school or community. Be prepared to submit them to the class for viewing and possibly explanation (hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves). Try to make the pictures great, but don’t manipulate the context (change the setting to match the theme) -- look for existing examples.
