Title – Studying History Pt. 2Date – 9/5/13
WAR: come in and get right to work! Copy question and answer in your ISN on the WAR side of your ISN
1st, 6th, 7th period: What are some benefits of studying history?
3rd, 4th, 5th period: What may tomorrow’s history books say about today’s world?
Knowing Yourselfhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byDN8aoR4TI Without your own personal history,
you would not have an identityYour past makes you who you are.History teaches us about the
experiences we have been through as a people.
It shapes our identity and teaches us the values that we share.
Knowing OthersHistory teaches us about cultures unlike
our own.It also helps us understand why other
people think the way they do.Consequently, we will learn to respect and
understand our differences.Promotes tolerance!Knowing about the past can help build
social harmony throughout the world
WARTopic#5 Understanding Through History
Date – 9/5/13
Answer ONE of the following questions:1. Name 2 groups of Americans who might
interpret our history differently and why?
2. How does history help citizens around the world know their own countries better?
3. How do fossils and artifacts teach us about the past?
(Please write out the question you are answering)
Knowing Your WorldHistory provides us with a better understanding
of where you live.It also helps us understand how the past shapes
today’s events.Worldwide events can affect anyone, anywhere.History will help you gain a better understanding
of science, math, religion, government, and other subjects.
You will develop mental skills and good decision-making skills, making us more productive adults.
“Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it”
Using CluesWe rely on a variety of sources to
learn historyWe use fossils (animal or plant
remains) for information on the first humans
Ex: bones and footprintsWe also use artifacts (made by
humans)Ex: coins, arrowheads, tools, toys, pottery
Sources of Information5,000 years ago writing was invented (yes, INVENTED!)Writing gives us many clues about the past.2 types of historical sources: primary and secondary
sourcesPrimary source is an account of an event created by
SOMEONE WHO TOOK PART OR WITNESSED THE EVENTEx: treaties, letters, laws, diaries, court documents, or audio and visual recordingSecondary source is information gathered by SOMEONE
WHO DID NOT TAKE PART IN OR WITNESS THE EVENTEx: textbooks, journal articles, encyclopedias, biographies
Sources of ChangeWriters of history don’t always agree.People may interpret the past
differently.New evidence could lead to new
conclusions.Interpretations can and do change
Bell WorkHomework: Make a map of fictional country and label at least 5 geographical items. How do the resources of your country support the people who live there?
TODAY’S TITLE: #6 Geography 9/9/13
TODAY’S GOALS: SWBAT use geography tools and know the difference between continents, countries, and cities.

Homework: Wkbk. Pages 4-6
TODAY’S TITLE: #6 Geography 9/6/12
TODAY’S GOALS: SWBAT use geography tools and know the difference between continents, countries, and cities.
WAR: Draw a map and write directions between 2 places in the classroom. Label important landmarks and use footsteps to estimate how long it will take to get from one place to another.
SECTION 2: STUDYING PLACES AND PEOPLEGeography is the study of the earth’s physical and
cultural features.Physical Geography is the study of the earth’s
land and features- landforms: natural features of the land’s
surface (ex- mountains, valleys, plains, etc.)- climate: pattern of weather conditions
over a long period of time. Affects many features of a region such as plant life and landformsClimate and landforms are part of the
environment, which includes all living and nonliving things that affect life in an area.
HUMAN GEOGRAPHYHuman Geography: study of people and
the places where they live.Deals with how the environment affects
people and how they live.For example:“Why do people live near rivers?”“How do people living in the desert survive?”
May determine how people eat, dress, and what kinds of jobs people have.
Studying LocationLocation tells where something is.Every place on Earth has an absolute
location AND relative locations.No two places in the world are exactly
alike.Geographers try to understand the effects
that different locations have on humans.
Studying LocationAbsolute location – the exact latitude and
longitude of a placeRelative location – the location of a place in
relation to somewhere else
Learning From MapsA map is a drawing of an area.Maps can show many different kinds of
things: physical features of geography, boundaries, symbols, rivers.
Most maps have a compass rose to show direction.
Bell WorkHOMEWORK: NONE
TODAY’S TITLE: #7 Geography Part 2
No new goal for today!
WAR: Answer the map questions 1-2 on page 14. (They are located at the bottom of the page under the maps of Florida!)1st, 6th, 7th - **Have wkbk. Pages 4-6 out for grading**3rd, 4th, 5th - **Have map out for grading**
Learning About RegionsA region is an area with one or more
features that make it different from surrounding areas.
Differences in features can be physical, dealing with climate, human populations, language, or religion.
Geography Affects ResourcesEarly on, people could only survive in areas
where there was food and water.Places had to be rich in resources,
materials that people need and value.Resources can include food, water, fertile
land, stones, and metals.
Geography Shapes CulturesEarly people developed different cultures
because of their environments.Ex: Ancient Egyptians believed that the god Hapi controlled the Nile River.Geography also affects the growth of
civilizations.Most civilizations formed along rivers.Geography can also provide protection
from invaders.
Geography Influences HistoryCivilizations with many resources grew
richer and more powerful than other civilizations that did not have as many resources.
Geography can also cause problems such as floods, drought, and storms
People can also affect the environment in positive and negative ways, which is a factor in history as well.
WIO: Where in the World?You will be divided into groups and given a specific region to “research”. List all the geographical features of your region with your group.
Then we will play “Where in the World?”. You will give clues to the other groups about your region, but DON’T SAY THE NAME OF YOUR REGION! The group that guesses the region correctly gets a point. You will be able to flip through the atlases of your book in the back. The group with the most points at the end wins!
