  1. Unit 1 Lesson 3

  2. The student will be able to… • Understand Geography as a Field of Inquiry (Topic Outline I.A) • Begin Looking at the Major Geographical Concepts Underlying the Geographical Perspective (Topic Outline I.B) • Topic Outline Refers to College Board AP Human Geography Outline: http://media.collegeboard.com/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap-human-geography-course-description.pdf

  3. Disclaimer… • Parts of this presentation were taken from presentations by David Palmer and www.vhstigers.org

  4. Five Fundamental Themes… (Getis p.18) • Location: Relative & Absolute Position on Earth’s Surface • Place: The distinctive & distinguishing physical and human characteristics of locations • Relationships within the places: The Development & Consequences of Human-environmental interactions • Movement: Patterns & Changes • Regions: How they form and change

  5. What is Human Geography? • Emmanuel Kant: “History looks at change across time. Geography looks at change across space.” • Human Geography: • Focuses on people: where they are, what they are like, how they interact over space, and what kinds of imprints they leave on the natural landscape. • Draws from the other social sciences: economics, political science, sociology, history. • Helps us understand the world and appreciate the circumstances affecting people, both in our country and beyond.

  6. Begin Thinking About Geographic Levels • Level 1 - What? Where? When? Scale? • Level 2 - Pattern Identification • Level 3 • Why there? • How did it get there? • Level 4 (prediction) • So what? • What if? • Impacts? Effects?

  7. LVL. 1 What, Where, When, & Scale

  8. LVL. 2 Pattern Identification…..

  9. Lvl. 3 Why There & How Did It Get there?

  10. LVL. 4 So What? What If…? Impacts?

  11. Scale Changes Perspective If a map depicts a small territory it is large scale. This maps depiction is smaller than the world map, so it is larger scaled than the 1st map.

  12. Scale… • The larger the scale, the small the area, but the greater the detail. • Small scale =‘s less detail • Large scale =‘s more detail • Can change our perspectives
