Today in Mrs. Fowlkes class we had did a study guide. We had reviewed on the five themes of geography.We mostly talked about location.There are two types of location,absolute and relative location.Absolute location is the exact spot on earth where a place can be found.Relative location where it is in relation to others places.

Today the groups presented their GISTs. We discussed what makes climates vary. We talked about the effects of ocean and wind currents. We read and discuss how weather reporters use satellites to predict weather patterns. We also talked about hurricanes and tropical cyclones. What did you learn from the activities of today?

p3 WORLD GEOGRAPHY

Today in MRS. Fowlkes class we had to go back over "THE FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY" THE five themes of geography are location,place,region,movement,and interaction.Location allows you to discuss places in the world in terms everyone can understand.Places can have human characteristics.A region is a group of places that have pysical fetures.Movement is when people,goods,and ideas move from one place to another.Interaction occurs because humans depend on,adapt to,and modify the world around them.This is all we got to today.
