Presentation transcript:

We Will understand what defines different types of regions.

I Will categorize different examples into formal, functional or perceptual.

Success Criteria Be able to explain if a region is formal functional or perceptual.

Warm up What is a region based on? Give an example of a region. How important is “region” to you?

Today’s Learning Objectives Success Criteria: Be able to explain if a region is formal functional or perceptual. We Will understand what defines different types of regions. I Will categorize different examples into formal, functional or perceptual.

You will draw these in your journal

Formal Regions Geographers draw formal regions on the basis of one or more measurable, shared traits that distinguish them from the surrounding areas.

EXAMPLES OF FORMAL REGIONS States- Texas, Florida, South Carolina, etc Countries- US, Mexico, Canada, etc Cities- Austin, Dallas, Houston, etc The area of town where the wealthiest people live. The Sahara Desert of Africa. U.S. city where more than 50% of residents speak Spanish.

Formal Region

Functional Region Functional regions are defined by a system of interactions.

Picture a bicycle wheel with a central axel in the middle of the wheel, which represents the center of all the activity. The spokes of the wheel represent links to outside areas (the tire) through transportation, communication and trade.

Examples of Functional The Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area is a functional region in that Dallas and Fort Worth share a common airport located between the two cities. States tied together by a highway River basins

Functional Region

Perceptual regions A perceptual region is defined by people’s feelings and attitudes about an area. They are also frequently based upon stereotypes, as people's definitions regions are influenced by travel, media, reading, films, and conversations.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR… Southern California The South New York City The Middle East

Perceptual Region

With a partner You will get a graphic and you have to decide which region it is and why you know it is that one.
