  3. Spatial Education > The geographic perspective… • The Rules…. • 1. There are reasons why things are where they are. • 2. There are advantages for things being in appropriate places. • 3. There are consequences for things being in the wrong places.

  4. Ask Where is it? Why is it There? (Who, What, Where, Why, How?) Draw Conclusions. Ask new Questions Find the Information See patterns and connections using maps graphs, charts Use Maps, Graphs, Charts to showinfo.

  5. Famous Geographers – Create a pneumonic device or graphic to help you remember these guys and their contributions to geography • Homer – Why is he famous?? • Hipparchus ?? • Plato ?? • Aristotle ?? • Eratosthenes ?? • Ptolemy ??

  7. Motorboat = Mercator Projection used for navigation/ships Airplane = Azimuthal Projection used by pilots Round = Robinson Projection used in education Map projections- Create a pneumonic device or graphic to help you remember

  8. Remembering Latitude vs Longitude Draw a picture in your toolkit (unit 8) to help you remember latitude. Lat = flat Flat = first (equator) What graphic can you create to remember longitude? (PM) latitude LONGitude latitude latitude Latitude

  10. TODALSIGS/MAP ELEMENTS • TODALS1G1G2S2S3: An abbreviation for the elements required on maps. Most maps we create will require TODALS2S3 only • Title The subject of the map • OrientationCompass. Be sure to include North, South, East, and West. • Date When the map is made • Author Who made the map – you! • Legend What the symbols and colors mean that are used on the map • Scale (S1) Distance used on the unit of measurement • IndexAlphabetical listing of places on the map using lat/long, ABC/123 • Grid (G1)Helps locate places on the map that are listed in the Index. Marked with Latitude and Longitude. • Glossary (G2) Definitions of the features on the map • Source (S2) Bibliographic information, annotation may be required • Surrounding Shows the bordering areas of the map subject. area (S3)

  50. MAP labeling and shading Ink Colors – Maps can be labeled with ink colors as follows…. • GREEN Physical features (mountains, plains, plateaus) • BLUE Features associated with water (lakes, canals, rivers, seas…) • BLACK Political features (Countries, states) • RED Urban areas (cities, capitals, primate cities) Coloring a Map – Specific shading will be required for each map Physical features: As a general rule, use the following colors to shade physical features • BROWN Areas of higher elevation such as mountains ranges, escarpments • GREEN Areas of lower elevation such as plains, plateaus, valleys, peninsulas, forests • YELLOW Areas of low precipitation (Desert). Follow with red dots to emphasize these • areas • RED Areas of highest elevation such as mountain peaks + dots in deserts • BLUE Areas of water such as rivers, seas, oceans, straits… Political Shading: Alternate shading of the countries so that no country of one color borders another of that color. DO NOT SHADE COUNTRIES BLUE.
