DO NOW!
• After quietly taking your seat, take out your binder as
well as your homework from last night (The Student
Survey). Hold on to the survey, do not put in the TurnIn Box yet.
ANYTHING TO TURN IN?
Signed Syllabus Sheets
Supplies
NAME TAGS
In order to help be learn you names, each of you will be creating your own name tag
that you will keep out and on your desk for the first couple of weeks.
Fold the paper “like a hot dog.” On one side, write your name large enough to be seen
by someone walking around the room.
On the other side, you can also put your name or decorate the tag with symbols or
designs that you think describe you personally.
INITIAL WORLD MAP ACTIVITY
Using the directions given, do your best to complete each
of the tasks given.
UNIT 1 VOCABULARY SELF-AWARENESS CHART
Place a check in the column that describes your awareness of each
term
“+” for understanding
“?” for limited knowledge
“-” for lack of knowledge
By the end of our first unit, you should be able to place a check in
the “+” column for each word
HOW DO WE STUDY THE EARTH
What is the main tool we use to study the earth?
MAPS
How else can geographers study the earth (in broader terms)?
Geographers look at specific patterns and connections in the use
of space.
These patterns and connections fall into what are known as the 5
themes of geography.
FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY
Location
Where is it?
Place
What is it like?
Region
How are places similar or different?
Human-Environment Interaction
How do people relate to the physical world?
Movement
How do people, goods and Ideas move from one location to another?
THEME: LOCATION
Absolute Location vs. Relative Location
How do we measure absolute location??
Latitude, Longitude, Hemispheres (North, South, East, and West)
Group Activity: Examples of Terms that define Absolute Location
Create Illustration and Explanation for terms that describe Absolute Location
Latitude
Longitude
Northern vs. Southern Hemispheres
Western vs. Eastern Hemispheres

ANGELINA’S TATTOOS…
Together, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have five children from different countries
around the globe.
Today, we will be using our Atlases to explore where they came from…
USING DIFFERENT TYPES OF MAPS!
Read the packet and answer the questions that follow…
MAP PROJECTIONS
•
Projections enable geographers to show the curved surface of the earth
on a flat map
•
Because the earth is a sphere, a flat map can distort some aspects of
the earth’s surface
Use pages 22-23 of your textbook to answer the questions about the
different types of map projections
CLOSURE… EXIT TICKET!

Share with your partner (Rally Robin)
THE GLOBE!
REFLECTION…
How was your first week in World Geography?
What has been the most challenging part of class so far?
The easiest?

PRE-TEST…
PARTS OF A MAP (PAGE 26 0F ATLAS)
Map Title - gives a name to a map. Normally, the map title is prominently displayed and describes
the purpose of the map.
Compass Rose - also known as a direction indicator, displays the cardinal directions (north, south,
east, and west) and sometimes intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and
northwest).
Map Scale - used to relate distance on the map to real distance on the ground. Most maps display
the map scale in statute miles and kilometers, although some maps display the map scale in
feet, yards, etc.
Map Legend/Key - also known as a key, is used to describe the symbols found on a map.
Map Symbols - pictures used on a map to represent information.
Lines of Latitude and Lines of Longitude – imaginary lines that measure distance north or south of
the equator (lat.) and east or west of the prime meridian (long.)
Colors – represent a variety of information on a map, usually explained in the map legend
TYPES OF MAPS
Special Purposes/Thematic Maps
A special purpose map provides nearly any imaginable topic with the scope being
broad or narrow.
General Purpose Map
A general purpose map shows information that is often used by map readers.
Political Maps
Shows the features of earth’s surface that humans created
Physical Maps
Shows the types of landforms and bodies of water found in a specific area
CLOSURE…
TOMORROW, YOU WILL FINISH YOUR MAPS AND TURN
THEM IN FOR A GRADE
MAPS NEED TO BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE SINCE
THEY ARE COUNTING AS QUIZ GRADES
TEST ON FRIDAY!!
DO NOW!
Take your seat quietly, take out your class materials
GO TO GROUPS: FINISH MAKING YOUR MAP!
Working with a partner you will be creating a map, depicting an element
of the Haynes Academy Campus
Your map must contain all of the map elements from the previous page.
On the back, you must explain which type of map you and your partner
created and what the map is depicting
Will count as a Quiz grade!
(You will be graded on neatness, accuracy, and your ability to follow
directions)
FOUR SPHERES OF THE EARTH
Video!
READ THE ARTICLE TITLED “THE FOUR SPHERES OF
THE EARTH”
Determine the main purpose, central themes/ideas within the
article!
Highlight those major ideas!
THE FOUR SPHERES OF THE EARTH: CARD GAME
Each group gets a pile of cards
Each person gets 4 cards
On each card, write one thing that belongs in each of the spheres
Take turns going around the circle, each person must lay a card in the
correct pile in which it belongs
If someone lies, yell “Bologna!” If they did lie, they take all the cards. If the
yeller was incorrect, they take all the cards.
First person to get rid of their cards, wins!
NATURAL HUMAN PROCESSES JIGSAW
The Four Spheres:
Atmosphere: the layer of air that surrounds the earth
Lithosphere: the surface layer of the earth composed of land
Biosphere: all parts of the earth that contain life
Hydrosphere: part of the earth that contains water
Each person in the home group will get process and an article to go along
with it. Read your article to determine the necessary information to fill in
the Natural and Human Processes chart.
CLOSURE
DO NOW!
After quietly taking your seat, get out your WG materials. Take out
your Human Processes Chart from last class.

GO GEOGRAPHY!
Topic: Map Projections
Respond to the following statement:
The world can be accurately portrayed on a flat map.
There is only one way to draw a world map.
Do you believe the following statement to be true or false?
What may or may not be wrong with the statement above?
TYPES OF MAP PROJECTIONS: CHECK IT!
Review the answers you have written for your Types of
Maps activity.
Check for errors, discrepancies in answers
PROJECTIONS
Robinson Projection
Shape: Oval, has latitude and longitude on edges
Good Features: balances distortion of shape and size, so fairly
accurate
Problems: still has some land shape and size distortion
PROJECTIONS
Eckert IV Projection
Shape: Equal area map – oval
Good Features: Shows sizes of places accurately – good for
population density
Problems: Distorts shapes near the poles so it has shape distortions
near far north and far south
PROJECTIONS
Mercator Projection
Shape: Square
Good Features: Shows direction between places accurately –
particularly near the equator
Problems: distorts sizes of continents near poles especially; it has
area distortion
PROJECTIONS
Lambert Projection
Shape: Circular
Good Features: shows size accurately at the center; great for
showing poles
Problems: Poor with distance or shape
PROJECTIONS
Goode’s Homolosine Projection
Shape: Broken shapes
Good Features: Shows continents as they compare in size
Problems: Distorts shape and size of oceans
MAP PROJECTIONS: BALLOONS!
Each student needs a balloon and marker.
Blow up the balloon and hold, not tie, the opening so the air will not
escape.
Then, use a marker to draw the seven continents as accurately as
possible on the balloon.
Finally, deflate the balloon and decide how you can cut the balloon
to create a flat map of the world.
Try to create your own map projection to accurately display the earth
on a flat surface.
LESSON REFLECTION
Do you believe the first mapmakers encountered the
same problems you did?
What problems do you think the first mapmakers
encountered in their process of creating map
projections?
Do you believe any map projection can claim to be the
best to use for answering all map-related questions?
Explain your answer.
