Name ______________________________________________ Rotation __________________ Oceania Learning Targets and Success Criteria We are learning to use maps, globes and geographic tools to gather, process and report information about people, places and environments. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for understanding of the basic properties of maps, globes and diagrams to gather, process and report information about people, places and environments. ● You will use an atlas on this test!!! ● Look at the MAP TITLE, KEY, SCALE ● Climate, population, precipitation, physical features, political features, economics GEO3: Globes and other geographic tools can be used to gather, process and report information about people, places and environments. Cartographers decide which information to include and how it is displayed. 1 We are learning to use latitude and longitude coordinates to identify absolute location. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for a line of latitude and a line of longitude that intersect at a specific place in Oceania. ● ● ● ● ● First, look at circles which are Latitude and must be degrees South Second, look at straight lines which are Longitude that meet at the South Pole and are either West or East Antarctic Circle is 66.6 degrees South International Date Line determines when a new day begins Not a straight line – it zigs and zags around various islands (Pacific Islands) GEO4: Latitude and longitude can be used to identify absolute location. 2 We are learning to identify common characteristics of places that geographers use to create regions. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for common landforms, climate, population, culture, and/or economic characteristics that geographers use to create regions. A region - places that share a common characteristic ● Outback – hot desert region ● Antarctica - cold desert region – glaciers (landform) ● Australian coast - touches water, mild climate, unique animals/plants found nowhere else ● Pacific Islands – islands formed by volcanoes, share the same location and climate ● Oceania – all islands (landforms) We can determine regions by: climate, precipitation, landforms, language, religion, vegetation, location, government, culture GEO5: Regions can be determined, classified and compared using various criteria (e.g. landform, climate, population, cultural or economic). 3 We are learning to explain how variations among physical environments in the Eastern Hemisphere influence human activities. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: 4 We are looking for ways humans depend on the natural environment to survive. We are looking for ways that humans adapt to the natural environment. ● Humans survive in the Outback by finding water in aquifers (water stored in rocks). ● Technology helps make life easier in the Outback today. ○ Planes for medical care and emergencies. ○ Radios, internet, phones for education. GEO6: Variations among physical environments within the Eastern Hemisphere influence human activities. Human activities also alter the physical environment. We are learning to explain how human activities have altered the physical environments of the Eastern Hemisphere. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: 5 We are looking for ways that humans modify (change) the environment to meet their needs (e.g. dams, mines, farms, roads). ● ● ● Drilling into aquifers to obtain water Cutting down trees to make more land to grow crops. Replanting trees to save the land. GEO6: Variations among physical environments within the Eastern Hemisphere influence human activities. Human activities also alter the physical environment. 6 We are learning to explain political, environmental, social and economic factors that cause the movement of people, products and ideas in Oceania. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for the factors that cause people, products and ideas to move to and within Oceania. · · · · Political factors - government, citizen rights, military, war Environmental factors - climate, natural disasters, landforms Social factors - discrimination, culture, religion, education Economic factors - availability of resources, jobs, trade, money GEO7: Political, environmental, social and economic factors cause people, products and ideas to move from place to place in the Eastern Hemisphere in the past and today. 7 We are learning to describe the lasting impact of the movement of people, products and ideas in Oceania. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for examples of the lasting effects of the movement of people, products and ideas in Oceania. SKIP GEO7: Political, environmental, social and economic factors cause people, products and ideas to move from place to place in the Eastern Hemisphere in the past and today. 8 We are learning to explain how tradition and diffusion have influenced modern cultural practices and products in the Eastern Hemisphere. ESSENTIAL VOCABULARY: We are looking for examples of how ideas, goods, and cultural practices have spread as people have moved and migrated. Cultural diffusion: the spreading of a practice or product from one culture to another. Sports have spread from one country to another (rugby). Luaus began in Pacific Islands and have spread to other countries. Traditions that have been practiced for many generations that are passed down Examples of traditions: hula dancing, playing rugby, special forms of tattoos, fire dancing GEO8: Modern cultural practices and products show the influence of tradition and diffusion. 9
