Today we reviewed the Geographic Thinking concepts (pink sheet) and applied them to the Case Study: The Babushkas of Chernobyl
http://www.ted.com/talks/holly_morris_why_stay_in_chernobyl_because_it_s_home
-take some notes on this video (on the sheet provided) (practice using the 7 Geographical thinking concepts)...note this is a TED talk from 2015
Think about how you would respond to the prompts:
1) What does home mean to you? What is the “personal geography” of your life -- to what and to where and to what time periods do you most connect? “Sense of place”
2) Respond to the Chernobyl video, your thoughts about why the babushkas were so stubborn about staying and what this says about people's connection to place. Incorporate as much of the notes (from the template on the previous page) as you wish.
Please answer these on the backside of the pink sheets and fill in the blanks on this sheet with regard to this Ted Talk.
