Applying the Five Themes of Geography to the REAL World
By Sarah Austin
This is a lesson designed to bring the ‘Five Themes of Geography’ to life! Students will go beyond the mere rote memorization of these themes, but will explore and apply each of these themes to an eye opening example found in the REAL WORLD; whether it be a tribal man’s adaptive ability to hold his breath for an extended amount of time while deep sea hunting, to the ancient Roman’s impressive engineering skills in constructing the famous waterway system known as the aqueducts.
