Forum 1.4 - Identifying Nebraska's Place

11/16/2021

Guiding Thought Question: Identifying the place characteristics at a number of different scales.

City - Identify 3 defining human characteristics (significant landmarks, cultural traits), and 3 defining physical characteristics (climate, physical traits) of your home city.

State - Identify 3 defining human characteristics (significant landmarks, cultural traits), and 3 defining physical characteristics (climate, physical traits) of your home state.

Country - Identify 3 defining human characteristics (significant landmarks, cultural traits), and 3 defining physical characteristics (climate, physical traits) of your home country.

Guiding Inquiry: What can you learn about a Place from "reading the landscape" to analyze it's human and physical characteristics?

Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to identify characteristics of the physical landscape and how they are a reflection of its location on the planet. Students will practice identifying the principles of place, and complete an activity where they identify place characteristics and the impacts those characteristics have on speciation. (3.1)
