Original Prompt

Have students learn about Chicago, Amazonian Brazil, and Longyearbyen to be able to answer this question: How does where people live in those locations affect how they live?

This learning resource focuses on the influence of geographic location on cultural practices and daily life in three distinct global regions: Chicago, Amazonian Brazil, and Longyearbyen, Norway. Students will examine key geographic factors such as climate, natural resources, and topography, and how these elements shape the lifestyles and adaptations of communities in each area. The resource includes structured note-taking activities, background knowledge boosters, case studies, and reflective questions to encourage critical thinking about how geography affects culture and societal norms. Through comparative analysis and synthesizing information, students will gain insights into the resilience and adaptations of different cultures in response to their environmental conditions.
