You will rotate from station to station and observe the visual
representations for each region.
After observing, record your personal and group thoughts about the
island region.
At the end of the gallery walk, you should have a description for each
of the island regions
Please respond to the following reflection question:
What are some of the major similarities/differences you found from
region to region?

EXPLORING AUSTRALIA
Australia’s location, colonial history, and physical makeup makes it one of the most
unique places on the planet.
Today, you will be working with your table group members to explore several aspects
that can be used to describe the island country (which also happens to be a
continent)
Each person choose one aspect of Australia to research:
1) Ethnic Groups
2) Environmental Issues
3) Colonial History
4) Native Animal Life
After each person has compiled their information, come together and share your
information to gather a complete description of the country.
Lastly, you should create an illustration to go along with each area of information and
place your illustration in the corresponding area of Australia
Places to Start:
The Textbook, Ch. 33
World Factbook
Australian War Memorial

WHAT IS GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE?
Global climate change refers to the ongoing changes in regional
weather patterns, which are affected by the exchange of
incoming and outgoing energy in earth’s atmosphere.
This process is influenced by many factors, both human and natural,
including the Greenhouse Effect, the increased burning of fossil
fuels, changes in land use, etc.
Several environmental occurrences have begun to illustrate this
growing phenomena in recent years.

process of global climate change?
Take notes as you watch the TED Talk to explain the evidence that
illustrates this process…
