Five Themes of Geography Collaborative Project
A classroom project adaptable to any town, city, or state. Five sections investigate different geographic questions and teach one another.
One theme for each section
| Section | Theme | Inquiry |
|---|---|---|
| 6-1 | Location | Compare coordinates and landmarks to explain where a civic place is located. |
| 6-2 | Place | Compare physical and human features and defend which shape daily life most. |
| 6-3 | Human Environment Interaction | Investigate how paved surfaces and trees affect heat or runoff, using evidence to test a claim. |
| 6-4 | Movement | Examine how a change in a travel route could affect access to jobs or services. |
| 6-5 | Region | Compare political, cultural, and economic boundaries for the chosen place. |
How students work together
Teams of three to five divide map work, source research, writing, and speaking. Each section combines its team panels into one display, compares the chosen community with another place, and presents a supported explanation. Every student contributes evidence and participates in the presentation.
What the set includes
The one page landscape assignment includes five section specific challenges, a five day work sequence, a final individual RACE response, New Jersey Social Studies alignment notes, and a 20 point assessment. You receive print PDF editions after purchase.
Individual educator use with that educator’s students. Department, school, district, LMS, and organization licenses are quoted separately. The class chooses its own community, so no town or state is required in the file.
