Where are we???
The 5 Themes of Geography will be reviewed throughout this year. I do not expect them to be experts but we will be introducing/reviewing the 5 Themes for the first two weeks and then testing them on the basic concepts.
location: Where am I and how do I get there? There is absolute and relative location.
place: What is it like to live there? Physical and Cultural features.
the environment and human interaction: How do we/they interact with the Earth?
movement: How and why are people, goods, and ideas moved into and out of this place?
(My personal favorite...they are all pretty cool, though.)

regions: Student: Isn't this just another place?
Me: No.
Student: Well then what is it?
Me: It's complicated and sometimes made up. :)
Regions can be based upon physical or cultural characteristics.
