The first standard we learn in the European Geography unit is:
SS6G7 The student will locate selected features of Europe. a. Locate on a world and regional political- physical map: the Danube River, Rhine River, English Channel, Mediterranean Sea, European Plain, the Alps, Pyrenees, Ural Mountains, and Iberian Peninsula. b. Locate on a world and regional political-physical map the countries of France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, Portugal, United Kingdom The theme and enduring understanding that goes with this standard is:
For this standard, students must know the locations of the 10 European countries and 9 physical features. Students also need to be able to describe how the physical features of Europe impact life in the countries that they are in or around. Let's Go to Europe project connection The physical features that are in and/or touching each country make a difference in the types of activities that can be done on a vacation. For example: Italy is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea. This means that tourists can take part in beach & water activities and enjoy warm weather. You would not want to send a client that is interested in a ski vacation to Italy. Students should have the beginnings of their Travel Guides and Questionnaire questions completed by the end of the physical geography lessons. . |
