Class on 9/13

Today in Honors Human Geography, we started our new unit. The new unit is called 'Thinking Geographically.' There are four key questions for this unit. The first one is 'How do geographers describe where things are?' The second one is, 'Why is each point on earth unique?' The third question is, 'Why are different places similar?' And, the final question is, 'Why are some actions unsustainable?' We discussed these questions, and some of us were partially able to answer or understand them. We also went through the introduction to the section we are studying. My main takeaway from it is that regions can be studied as they relate to space, place and location. With the studying of regions we are able to give common characteristics so they can be easily grouped. Next, we went into further detail, and talked about formal regions. This is an area with a high level of consistency in a certain physical or cultural attribute. After taking many notes, we worked on a paper, marking continents and regions on a map. Then class ended and I had a great rest of my day!
