6th Grade Social Studies: World Geography and Global Issues Unit 1: Foundations of World Geography SS60104 Lesson 4 Lesson Graphic Organizer Theme Location Questions Where is it? Place What is it like there? Human/Environment Interaction How have people used the environment? How have people adapted to the environment? How have people modified or changed the environment? How is the place connected to other places? Regions What are its natural characteristics? What are its human characteristics? How do people interact with the environment? Movement What is its absolute location? What is its relative location? How and why have people, goods, and ideas moved in and out of the place? How might common geographic characteristics help us understand this place? Michigan Citizenship Collaborative Curriculum Copyright © 2010-2015 by Oakland Schools How can the place be divided into regions? To what regions does the place belong? Page 1 of 8 August 11, 2015 6th Grade Social Studies: World Geography and Global Issues Unit 1: Foundations of World Geography SS60104 Lesson 4 Big Idea Card Big Ideas of the Lesson 4, Unit 1 The five themes of geography provide a framework or tool for studying different places. The five themes can be applied to places as small as a neighborhood or to places as large as the earth itself. The five themes are Location, Place, Human/Environment Interaction, Movement and Regions. A good way to remember this is MR. HELP (Movement, Region, Human/Environment Interaction, Location, and Place). Each theme is connected to a series of questions geographers ask about places. Word Cards 11 five themes of geography an organizing framework for geographic inquiry Example: The five themes of geography are location, place, human/environment interaction, movement and regions.

Where is it? REGION: MOVEMENT How might common characteristics help us understand this place? How is this place connected to other places? HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION: How do people interact with the environment?

How have increasing levels of interaction in communication, travel, and foreign exchange impacted the earth and its people? How does climate affect water availability and vegetation? How does a water deficit or surplus in a place impact people? How does soil affect agriculture types and crops? How do humans respond to geographical advantages and limitations? Why are certain features or places where they are? How do people decide where to locate new human features? How does global interdependence impact people as consumers and producers? What imprints do religion and human belief systems leave on places? How can the earth be viewed as a single “environmental system”? What role does technology play in the modification of the environment? What factors are shaping current human migration? How do cultural attitudes toward use and conservation of the environment differ? What is cultural diffusion and how does it impact the exchange of ideas? How has technology allowed us to shrink space and distance? What patterns do physical processes like traveling weather patterns, flowing water, and plate tectonics create? How is population affected by factors such as birth rate, death rate, and population growth?

Place One significant Natural Characteristic: One significant Human Characteristic: Movement Human/ Environment Interaction One way people have used Earth: One way people have adapted to Earth: One way people have modified Earth: One way Earth is connected to another place: Regions One way to divide Earth into regions: Michigan Citizenship Collaborative Curriculum Copyright © 2010-2015 by Oakland Schools Page 7 of 8 August 11, 2015 6th Grade Social Studies: World Geography and Global Issues Unit 1: Foundations of World Geography SS60104 Lesson 4 Location Describe Earth Using the Five Themes – Sample Answers Where is the Earth? Earth is the third planet from the sun in our solar system of nine planets. Earth is in the Milky Way galaxy. Place One significant Natural Characteristic: Mt. Everest The Sahara Desert The Oceans The Amazon Rainforest One significant Human Characteristic: Large cities like Shanghai, China The Great Wall of China The United Nations Headquarters The pyramids of Egypt Movement Human/ Environment Interaction One way people have used Earth: People have used the soil for agriculture all over the earth. People have used forests across the Earth for lumber, firewood, etc. People have used the oceans for shipping, food, and water. One way people have adapted to Earth: People have used technology such as air conditioners to cool their homes in the summer and furnaces to heat their homes in the winter. People wear layers of clothing in the winter when it is cold and lighter clothing when it is hot. People build their homes differently and with different materials based on the climate and the types of natural disasters that happen there. One way people have modified Earth: People have sped up climate change. People have cut down many different kinds of forests. People have filled in wet areas and coastal areas to create more land for building. People have killed off some species of animals which are now extinct. One way Earth is connected to another place: Earth has been connected to the moon. Earth is connected to other planets in the solar system. Regions One way to divide the earth into regions: Hemispheres Continents Language regions Cultural regions Michigan Citizenship Collaborative Curriculum Copyright © 2010-2015 by Oakland Schools Page 8 of 8 August 11, 2015
