Original PromptWe have a class called flex, we see our social studies classes one additional time during the cycle but we don't always have all of the students there so this time should be for more of extension activities that are enjoyable for students and can include stem or other activities that might not lend themselves well into regular class. Please create an activity that can take 30 minutes for students on 5 themes of geography
This resource engages students in a creative project titled "Settlement Safari: Designing a New World," where they will apply the five themes of geography to conceive a new human settlement. The activities include brainstorming a unique location for the settlement, sketching its physical landscape, designing human structures while considering human-environment interaction, and justifying geographical choices. Each activity focuses on different themes such as Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, and Region, encouraging students to think critically about geographical relationships and planning. Additionally, a STEM challenge is incorporated to explore trade agreements, where students outline an export strategy and address environmental challenges related to movement.
