Presentation on U.S. Geographical Region Overview

In class we have reviewed geography terms and illustrations. Today we had a short quiz on the 8 geographical regions. Two students were assigned to briefly research each of the 8 regions.

7th grade only will have part of study skills class Thursday to work on this.

Each partner is responsible to share the following with class this Friday:

Partner 1:
Topography-landscape, major land features and water bodies.
Climate- annually
Challenges- to access and transportation, survival, manufacturing/goods production.

Parter 2:
Longitude and latitude ranges of boundaries of region in all directions.
Picture, drawing, or precise verbal description (so that we can picture it mentally).
Positive points and features: for access/transportation, survival, production of goods / crops.
