Discussion Questions-Group Rules
• Today you will pick groups, sometimes you will be
placed in groups
• Every group member works to look up, discuss and write
down answers
• The point of this activity is for your to extend the content,
make sure you understand the content and DISCUSS
the material! It will help you learn it!
• Don’t use the divide and conquer method. Everyone
work together one question at a time.
• Stay on task-no phones, other homework, or outside
conversation until the questions are completed.
• Every time these are collected it will be from one group
member-you never know who this will be so do a good
job on answering for your group!! It is a group grade!!!
Turn in your maps
• Stack them all together with the climate
map on top.
• Make sure your name is on all 3
• Staple them
• Put them on the table
World Map Directions
• Label the maps based on the map list
• You will have three separate maps
• I suggest color coordinating-ex. for all oceans use
one color, for all mountain ranges use another, etc.
(color coordinating is optional)
• Draw in the symbol for rivers and mountain ranges.
• If places are too small to write you can label the
area by its number on the list
• Map items will be part of a global themes quiz that
will be taken next week.

Intro
Geography
and how it
Shapes Culture
Overview
• We will be learning about many different
people in the world and how their ways of life
have changed over thousands of years.
• Different cultures are largely shaped by
geography.
• Vastly different geographies equal many
different types of people throughout the
world.
• Think about how we have dealt with different
types of people in the past and present?
Essential Question:
How does geography
shape with culture?
Geography Chapter 1 Section 1
• The study of where
people, places and
things are located
and how they relate
to each other.
• Maps, globes and
charts help us to
understand
geography but it is
much deeper than
that
5 basic themesdescribes the patterns
and connections in
the use of the
geographic space.

Five Basic Themes of Geography
1. Location
2. Place
3. Region
4. Human
Environment
Interaction
5. Movement
Location
• Location is where an area is located on
the map or globe.
• Absolute Location: grid coordinate on the
surface of the earth.
• Latitude and Longitude can be used to
pinpoint a location. For example, the
absolute location of New Orleans,
Louisiana, is 30 degrees north, 90
degrees west.
• Finding absolute location is the starting
point for geographic research.

Place
• 2. Place- physical and human
characteristics. What is it
like?
• Physical-natural environment
and geographical features.
Landforms, climate, soil,
ecology, etc.
• Human- human ideas and
actions. Bridges, houses, and
parks, population, ETC
Human Characteristics of Place
Bridges are an example of how
humans have adapted to their
environment
Human Characteristics of Place
Architecture
Region
An area of the earth’s surface with similar
characteristics. How are places similar or
different?
• Characteristics can be physical, political, economic or
cultural
• Physical characteristics-climate, vegetation ,land
patterns
• Cultural characteristics-organized around a religion or
set of customs/language
• Economic characteristics-some countries may belong
to a group of others because they are all third world
developing nations

Human Environment
Interaction
4. How people relate to the physical world. How
people have adapted and reshaped their
environment
• People use what the environment offers and change
the environment to meet their needs• Some aspects can’t be changed-climate
• People must adapt- People who live in hot areas
have air conditioning.
• Not all people that live in a similar environment use it
in the same way-Examples-
Ways People have changed or
adapted to their environments
Human Environment Interaction
can be harmful-must weigh
positives and negative
Movement
Movement-how people, goods and ideas move
from place to place.
• People have always migrated throughout history
• Trade-ideas/resources move through trade
• Missionaries
• Interdependence-countries rely on each other
for resources that their geography does not
provide
• Relationships between people in different places
are shaped by the constant movement of people,
ideas, materials,
Reasons for Movement
Chapter 1 Section 2
Maps and Tools
• Geographers need tools to study patterns
• There are all different types of maps to
display information showing the 5 themes
of geography
• Example-political maps, physical maps,
etc.
• We will be doing three maps for Chapter 1
Importance of Maps to see Culture
• Map skills
• Geographers use different types of maps
to understand places
• This information helps geographers to see
patterns and how people develop based
on their environment
• Surrounding environment helps develop
information as people adapt to live.

Economic Systems
Elements that Make up Culture
1. Social organization of members into smaller
units.
• Family- most important passes down behavior
and beliefs.
• Nuclear family, husband, kids. US this is all that
is needed why in other countries are larger ones
needed?
• Extended family several generations.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.
• Most families were patriarchal, only a few
matriarchal.
Elements of Culture cont…
2. Customs and Traditions -rules of behavior.
Sometimes social pressure is used to enforce
minor rules of behavior. Written laws are about
right and wrong.
3. Language_- cornerstone of culture.
All have it but some do not write it. Same
language tends to equal similar customs
4.Arts and Literature-Teach us about values
while entertaining us. Encourage identity and
teach us lessons. Promote cultural pride and
unity.
Elements of Culture cont…
5. Religion- Helps people answer basic questions
about life. Supports important values.
• Two different types-monotheistic or poly theistic.
Religious problems are an issue.
6. Government-provide for their common needs.
Keeping order and protecting society. Ex.
Democracy, dictatorship
7. Economic Systems-how people use limited
resources to satisfy their wants and needs. What,
how, and for whom questions.
How Culture Changes
• Can you think of reasons that cause culture to
change?
• Causes of change- Technology -skills and tools
people use. Ex. The introduction of cars led to
suburbs then urban downturn which led to poverty
and crime in cities.
2. Other Cultures-Ex. Extinction of buffalo killed the
Native American culture in the plains.
How Culture Changes
3. New ideas Ex. Recycling and conservation.
4. Diffusion- movement of customs and beliefs from
one place to another. They move with people. Ex.
The wheel, music etc. Diffusion can be forced when
groups take over others.
Most people only prefer their own culture because it
is familiar and comforting. We think they are they
way things are supposed to be.
How Culture Changes
• Ethnocentrism- judge other cultures by
the standards of your own- students need
to define first.
• This is one of the main points of this class!
Don’t judge other cultures’ problems and
ways of life until you understand them!
