  1. PHYSICAL FEATURES IDENTIFY, ANALYZE, AND EVALUATE

  2. DRIVING QUESTION • How does geography influence the way peoplelive?

  3. CRITICAL THINKING, COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, AND CREATIVITY • Research using Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Sources. • Cite our sources using www.easybib.com/ • Identify…the main physical features of a country. • Analyze…the influence this feature has on the people who live there. • Evaluate…the influence this feature has on the global world.

  4. PRIMARY SOURCE • What is a Primary Source? • Primary sources are first-hand, authoritative accounts of an event, topic, or historical time period. They are typically produced at the time of the event by a person who experienced it, but can also be made later on in the form of personal memoirs or oral histories. • Anything that contains original information on a topic is considered a primary source. Usually, primary sources are the object discussed in your paper. For instance, if you are writing an analysis on Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, the book would be a primary source. But, just because a source is old does not mean it is a primary source.

  5. Examples of Primary Source Original photographs Letters, diaries or journals (Personal thoughts) First-hand newspaper reports Speeches, autobiographies or memoirs Creative works like plays, paintings and songs Research data and surveys

  6. SECONDARY SOURCE • What is a Secondary Source? • Secondary sources interpret or critique primary sources. They often include an analysis of the event that was discussed or featured in the primary source. • They are second-hand accounts that interpret or draw conclusions from one or more primary sources.

  7. EXAMPLES OF SECONDARY SOURCE Articles that analyze or discuss ideas and events Essays or reviews Criticisms or commentaries Textbooks (May also be considered tertiary)

  8. TERTIARY SOURCE • What is a Tertiary Source? • Tertiary sources generally provide an overview or summary of a topic, and may contain both primary and secondary sources. The information is displayed as entirely factual, and does not include analysis or critique. • Tertiary sources can also be collections of primary and secondary sources, such as databases, bibliographies and directories

  9. EXAMPLES OF TERTIARY SOURCE Bibliographiesor abstracts Textbooks (May also be considered secondary Almanacs

  10. CREATE A DIGITAL MAP USING GOOGLE EARTH • TASKS: -Collaborate and decide which country to research. -Investigate Google Earth and view tutorials. -Critically think while researching using five themes. -Find photos, video clips, graphs, or other forms of media for your map. -Analyze five physical features found in your country to determine how they influence the inhabitants of your county. -Evaluate how these features influence the global world. -Communicate about which materials should be included on your map. -Creatively create digital map and write captions. -Cite sources in bibliography using Easybib. -Collaborate and plan class presentation.

  11. TEAMS MEMBERS…Let’s begin! • Project Team Contract • Project Team Work Plan • Use task slide to complete work plan. RESEARCH WILL BEGIN ON FRIDAY/MONDAY.
