Themes and Elements ofGeography

1 Activate Prior KnowledgeTo introduce the concept of location, have students do a Pair-Share activity from theBest Practices Toolkit. Each partner should give the other directions to his or her home.Then discuss what kind of information they used, such as street names and landmarks.

2 Preview Main Ideas and LanguageCONNECT VISUALLY Have students look carefully at the charts on the FiveThemes of Geography and the Six Essential Elements. Have them explain in their ownwords what each of the themes and elements means. Ask: How does the photograph thataccompanies the theme “Movement” illustrate that theme? (It shows cars on a highwayinterchange, and reflects the human ability to move from one area to another.)

BUILD VOCABULARY Have pairs of students create a flash card for each of thefive themes and six elements. Ask them to use the Flash Card Game from the BestPractices Toolkit to take turns “testing” each other.

3 Make Objectives ExplicitRead each objective and write it on the board. Define words that confuse students. Askstudents to name the most important word in each objective.

• List the five themes of geography.• Explain what place and region mean and tell how they are related.• Understand how people move in the world and how they interact with their

environment.

4 Support Student ReadingCOOPERATIVE WORK To help students understand the Five Themes of Geography,model a Reciprocal Questioning activity from the Best Practices Toolkit. Then havegroups of students continue the activity for the Six Elements.

ON ONE’S OWN Preview the following questions. Then have students search fortheir answers while reading.

1. Which of the five themes focuses on the question, “How do people, goods, andideas move from one location to another?”

2. What would geographers learn by looking at the characteristics of places orregions?

5 Prepare for AssessmentTo check comprehension, review the questions on TT1 of the Daily Test PracticeTransparencies. To assess comprehension, use the Section Quiz on page 38 of UnitResource Book: Introduction to World Geography.

Themes and Elements ofGeography

Before Reading

ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Use the Vocabulary: Knowledge Rating activityin the Best Practices Toolkit to determine how well students know the key terms in thissection. Write the terms on the transparency. Give individual students a copy and have themrate their familiarity with the terms. Work with the class to develop definitions.

1. environment: The physical surroundings of a location

2. geography: The study of people, places, and environments

3. spatial: Relating to space and where a place is located

4. place: A geographical term that describes the physical and human characteristics of alocation

5. region: An area that has one or more common characteristics that unite or connect it

During Reading

FOCUSED READING Use a Listening/Reading Guide activity in the Best PracticesToolkit to help students understand Section 1. Using the transparency, create questions on keyideas. Give each student sticky notes to mark the locations of the answers in the text. Readthe text aloud while students use the notes to mark the locations of the answers. Afterwards,have students return to their tabs to find and write the answers.

EXAMPLES: QUESTIONS

• What are the Five Themes of Geography?

• Why are the themes and elements of geography useful to geographers?

After Reading

ASSESSING COMPREHENSION Have students use a Frayer Model activity from theBest Practices Toolkit to summarize key ideas. Display the transparency and have pairs ofstudents fill in the center space with one of the Five Themes or Six Elements. Then have themfill in the four sections of the graphic: 1) Definition of the term or topic; 2) Characteristicsof the term or topic; 3) Examples; and 4) Non-examples. Suggest that students use theirtextbooks if needed.

Careers in Geography

Before Reading

ACTIVATING PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Lead a discussion of what students think theymay be interested in doing as a future career. Ask them if they had ever considered a job thatwould involve fieldwork. For example, what might appeal to them about helping to plan thelayout for a new community project? What might be some drawbacks to that kind of career?Ask students to raise their hands if they think they might enjoy a career as a geographer,and call on them to explain their thinking. Ask the same of those who don’t indicate aninterest in such a career.

During Reading

FOCUSED READING Use a Listening/Reading Guide activity in the Best PracticesToolkit to help students understand Section 3. Using the transparency, create questions on keyideas. Give each student sticky notes to mark the locations of the answers in the text. Readthe text aloud while students use the notes to mark the locations of the answers. Afterwards,have students return to their tabs to find and write the answers.

EXAMPLES: QUESTIONS

• What kind of tasks does a surveyor do?

• How might a climatologist help a business or government?

After Reading

ASSESSING COMPREHENSION Use a Divide and Conquer Four-Square activityfrom the Best Practices Toolkit to summarize information about each of the subtopics in thissection. Give each group a copy of the transparency and ask them to list the two or three mostimportant ideas in the subtopic they have been assigned. Here are examples for “ProcessingGeographic Data.”

• The geographer’s main activity is analyzing data to answer geographic questions.• Surveyors map and measure the land.• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) use high-tech equipment to supply complex

geographic data.
