Objective(s):

1. The advantages of coordinating multiple geographic representations—such as maps, globes, graphs, diagrams, aerial and other photographs, remotely sensed images, and geographic visualizations to answer geographic questions

Therefore, the student is able to:

A. Explain the advantages of using multiple geographic representations to answer geographic questions, as exemplified by being able to

• Explain how multiple geographic representations and geospatial technologies (e.g., GIS, GPS, RS, and geographic visualization) could be used to solve geographic problems (e.g., help determine where to locate a new playground, or identify dangerous street intersections within a community).
• Describe how an analysis of urbanization can be done using differ­ent geospatial technologies (e.g., RS for land use, GIS data layers to predict areas of high/low growth, GPS and GIS for identifying trans­portation issues regarding growth).
• Explain how multiple geospatial technologies can be used to solve land-use problems (e.g., effects of new farming technologies on the sustainable production of food, preservation of wetlands in bird mi­gration flyways).

Rationale: Understanding how maps were created and used allows students to understand the history of exploration and its impact on imperialism.

Evidence: Being able to articulate who pioneered/paid for the trips of explorers will allow students to list and explain the historical significance of maps.

#9 & #10

Work on your timeline assignment
Here is the first half of the History of Mapping Presentation

Today we will get our textbooks and go over the process of Current Events and Mapping assignments

Objective: Given access to a Chromebook, students will be able to access Google MyMaps App and a Google Drive based Current Events Template from the class Blog. Using the MyMaps app and the template, students will be able to look-up current events and summarize their selected story on the template. IN addition, students will be able to use the MyMaps app to plot the location of these current event stories. 

Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set. In addition, students need to become geographical aware of the world around them.

Evidence: Filling-in the Current Events template as well as using MyMaps to plot the location of the stories, will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of fulfilling the  assignment.

COURT CARTOGRAPHER PROJECT

COURT CARTOGRAPHER PROJECT

When learning about early Map Making, it should transition into how these early maps were made. To understand the challenges of map making we have created a fictitious explorer and chronicled his voyage and his description of a "new island" he discovered. Your job as the court cartographer is to produce the island he is describing on an 8.5 X 11 piece of paper.

EXPLORERS PROJECT

When learning about early Map Making, it should transition into how were those maps used and or expanded into the maps we know today. For that, we will study early explorers to understand why they ventured out to "discover" new lands and how maps were shaped by these voyages.

An explorer will be assigned to each student.The Explorer you are assigned is the explorer with the same number as your current seat.
i.e student sitting at seat 11 gets explorer #11
The directions for the project are listed below

This is the World Map you will use on your Explorers project -  ( here )
This map is very big, and you should crop out the part of the Map where your Explorer took his voyage(s). Use Google Slides to draw the path(s) from where your Explorer started and where he landed. Be sure to use dates and different colors to depict different voyages (if he in fact took more than one voyage)
