  2. Rationale • Regionalization is important for students so they can identify different regions globally, culturally, physically, locally, and politically. • By the end of this lesson this class will be able to identify different regions throughout a global and local society.

  3. Objective • Using regionalization, this class will be able to identify and describe different regions within the world’s societies. Defining regions by culture, physical, local, political, and global areas the class will understand regionalization within the environment they live.

  4. Regionalization • Is the process of defining regions. • Is essential for teaching world geography and history. • Describes the characteristics of places throughout the world and your surrounding environment. • Can be defined by using 5 major areas.

  5. Physical Regions • Defined Regions that are not man made. • Vegetation Zones • Rivers • Mountains

  6. Cultural Regions • Regions can be defined culturally. • Areas that share many of the same or similar traditions, customs, religions, and languages can be considered cultural regions.

  7. Global Regions • Regions can be defined by global conditions such as rainfall, soil types, air temperature, and even world religions. • Why are religions considered as global regions rather than cultural?

  8. Local Regions • Regions can be defined locally depending on their surrounding environment. • newspaper circulation routes • zip codes • zoning areas • economically wealthy areas

  9. Political Regions • Regions are defined by political boundaries. • State Lines • Country Borders • County Lines • Townships • War Zones

  10. Questions for Discussion • What are some different examples of physical regions? • What are some different examples of cultural regions? • Can you give some examples of global regions? • Can you give different examples of local/political regions?

  11. How do we define regions? • Regions can be any size. • Certain regional boundaries may only be an opinion depending on where you live. • Geographers use regions to give order to the earth’s surface. • We organize space into regions everyday.

  12. How do we organize our regions • Regions are organized by placing names with places or places with names. • Example: The Statue of Liberty is instantly associated with the United States of America. • Example: A map of the Great Plains is know as a specific place in North America. • Example: The fossil fuel oil is usually connected with the Middle East. • More Examples of regions in the U.S.A
