BELLWORK

1. BELLWORK Complete the Map of Migration questions

2. Themes in Social Studies Learning the 5 themes of Geography/ Migration Theories

3. 5 Themes of Geography 1. Location 2. Region 3. Place 4. Movement 5. Human Environment Interaction

4. Location Answers the question: “where is it?” Absolute location: your exact location EX: Latitude and longitude Relative location: where you are in relation to another location EX: use the cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) I live north of the city of Raleigh Your location determines everything: climate, natural resources, landforms, etc.

5. Region Areas that share at least one common feature. The earth is divided into many different regions: countries, states, and cities are political regions Other types of regions can be climate, culture, population, landforms, and historical Many places in the globe can fit into more than one region Regions also affect lives in the way you survive: such as living the mountains, deserts, tropics, or swamps. Connection: North Carolina can be divided into the Mountain, Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions

6. Place Identifies the human and physical features of a specific place. Places are identified by their landforms, climate, plants, animals, people, language, religion, etc. For example: a hilly place, a Christian place, a Spanish speaking place.

7. Movement Answers the question: “How do people, goods, and ideas move from one place to another What happens in one place affects what happens in another. Helps us see the transfer of goods, people, ideas, and traditions from one place to another. Migrate=to move

8. Human Environment Interaction Human environment interaction is how people affect their environment and how the environment affect people. When people live in a certain area, they begin to change that area to make their lives easier (such as growing crops, building homes, chopping down trees, ect.) The environment also interacts with people by determining how they live, work, dress, travel, and communicate (surviving a drought or hurricane).

9. Migration Means movement. People move for different reasons (Push or Pull): Push factors are things in people’s lives that “push” them to leave, such as poverty and political unrest. Pull factors are things in another country that pull people to move there, such as better living conditions, jobs, or money.

10. "Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.” • Gerald White Johnson
American author

11. Migration Theories Current Theories: As of 2008, genetic findings are suggesting that a single population of modern humans migrated from southern Siberia toward the land mass known as the Bering Land Bridge as early as 30,000 years ago, and crossed over to the Americas by 16,500 years ago. Archaeological evidence shows that by 15,000 years ago, humans had made it south of the Canadian ice sheets. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO0LSiBXWbA (instructor) pass out the reading and instruct students on the annotating symbols on their desk

12. What does this look like?

13. Migration Contrary to belief, Columbus and his successors were not coming into an empty wilderness but into a world which in some places was as densely populated as Europe itself. The cultures were complex, human relations were more egalitarian than in Europe and relations among men, women, children and nature were more beautifully worked out than perhaps in any place in the world. ~egalitarian: ensuring equality of all people

14. Ancient Cultures When we begin to talk about Ancient Cultures, what does this mean? Ancient Cultures, for this class, are the cultures present before Columbus and other major cultures captures the territories. These are not “cavemen.” These are working cultures that fit into the GRAPES sequence. Let’s look at their migration routes: http://www.eduplace.com/kids/socsci/ca/books/bkf3/imaps/

15. HW Pass out the “Archeology Hour” handout and instruct students on how they need to complete it.
