Projects and Test Prep


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.

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)

Monday Oct 5th Day 29

First thing is to get your assignment sheet updated.

Today we are starting the Unit on Latitude and Longitude as well as European Exploration

Introduction to the Unit

We are beginning our Unit on Latitude/Longitude  and the History of Cartography (map making). In this unit students will learn about the challenges early map makers had in representing an accurate picture of their surroundings. Many early map makers had limited to no technology at their disposal and had to develop a way to represent various land features, coast lines, mountains, etc. This led to many early maps being incredibly limited and inaccurate. These inaccuracies led many expeditions to unknown parts of the world and resulted in some very destructive behaviors as well as new found places and people. This unit will cover various explorers, and the lands they mapped-out for future exploration.

Objectives- 
*Given a blank piece of paper, the student will experience the challenges of a cartographer in producing and accurate map based solely on verbal instructions.
*Given a fictitious land mass to view, students will use only cardinal direction in describing the details to a amateur cartographer in producing a map.
*Given a description of a fictitious island, students will use recently acquired mapping skills to produce an accurate replication of the described land.
* Given a blank piece of paper students will be able to draw a relatively accurate map of a familiar place they know very well.


Rationale:-  Understanding the challenges with making accurate maps will teach the studens the reasons why early explorers wre usually dumbfounded when venturng off into unchartered waters

Evendence:- Students will be able to use an atlas and latitude/longitude coordinates to locate various places wihin the world as part of a scavenger hunt


Does this look very accurate?
Today you will get a chance to experience what being an ancient cartogropher was like...

Monday Sept 14th Day 21

 Fairy Tale Project - Gallery Walk and Evaluation

Objective: Given access to a fully functioning Chromebook with access to Google Docs, students will be displaying their fairy tale rewrite for their classmates to evaluate. Students will be able to identifu the 5 themes within the fairy tale rewrite and evluate the information to see if each fairy tale followed the guidelines of the assignment

Rationale:  Understanding how the 5 themes effects different locations and therefore would effect how stories are told in those locations allows for students to see the world from a different perspective.

Evidence: Accurately evaluating the various stories will demonstrate a students ability to identify the 5 Themes within Culturally based fairy tales.
