Forum 1.3 - Distinguishing Characteristics

1/13/2019

Central Question: How can you learn about a place through the processes of observation?

Guiding Thought Question: What are three characteristics (could be human or natural) that are unique to Nebraska or used as a way of building an identity as connected to the area where Nebraskans live?

Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the Five Themes of Geography and how they can be used to characterize a place, and then practice their observation skills by identifying applications of the five themes in a field environment.

The Sands Hills are unique to Nebraska. Chimney Rock is unique. The Cornhuskers are unique to nebraska. The Zoo is the most unique to Nebraska though.

We had a mixed grass prarie rather than a short or tall grass prarie. Omaha was named after a native american tribe.
One of our borders is a major waterway yet we live in the middle of the country.

Three characteristics that are unique to Nebraska include the state flower (Solidago/Goldenrod), the Henry Doorly Zoo, and the state nickname used to be the "Tree Planter's State" before it changed to the "Cornhusker State".
