WORLD HISTORY: Social Protest…Revolution…Justice Trimester 1; DAY 4 – September 6 th, 2011 WARM-UP: 1) Place the following in order from smallest to largest; use different sized circles to visually represent the various sizes of land: Town County Country Continent City State 2) In your own words, what is a continent?

Share Out & Review! The order is: 1.Town 2.City 3.County 4.State 5.Country 6.Continent Continent: Largest land classification; made up of countries. There are 7 continents.

Our Focus Today: We will be able to explore the functions of specific map tools (compass, scale, legend, and title) and longitude & latitude and apply these skills towards finding geographic locations.

How To Read A Map: Before we review this as a class, please turn to page xxxi in your textbook. Read over the page titled PLACE with the map on it. Think about these questions as you read. 1.What is the purpose of a legend? 2.What is the name of the tool that tells us the area and events the map covers? 3.What is the purpose of the scale tool? 4.Explain longitude – which direction does it go? 5.Explain latitude – which direction does it go? 6.What is the primary line of latitude? 7.What is the primary line of longitude? 8.What is it called when we divide the Earth into halves?

How To Read A Map: Things to look for when you get a map. Title – this will tell us the topic, date, and/or events the map shows. Legend – shows what the symbols, lines, and special colors mean on the map. Scale – displays real distance in measurable length (1 inch = 1,000 miles) Compass – shows directions

Finding Map Tools: TITLE LEGEND COMPASS SCALE

Term Definition Visual Imaginary lines that circle the globe from north to south, measuring an area’s distance east (E) or west (W) of the prime meridian. Longitude

Term Definition Visual Line of longitude that divides the Earth between West & East at 0 degrees. Prime Meridian

Using Longitude: If you see a degree (measurement) with E or W, then it is longitude. Examples: 40*E 40*W 0*E/W

Term Definition Visual Imaginary lines that circle the globe from east to west, measuring an area’s distance north (N) or south (S) of the equator. Latitude

Term Definition Visual Line of latitude that divides the Earth North and South at 0 degrees. Equator

Using Latitude: If you see a degree (measurement) with N or S, then it is latitude. Examples: 78*N 20*S 0*N/S

Using Longitude & Latitude What continent is: −15 degrees North latitude; 30 degrees East longitude −45 degrees South latitude; 60 degrees West longitude

A Clip To Further Our Understanding: As you watch this clip, find the answers to these questions. What are degrees? −Measurement of longitude & latitude; 1 degree = 69 miles What are minutes? −Smaller measurement of longitude & latitude – 1 degree = 60 minutes. What are seconds? −Smallest measure of longitude & latitude – 1 minute = 60 seconds What purpose does longitude & latitude serve? −To find locations anywhere on the Earth; this is how GPS operates.

World Map Hunt Complete the follow activity using the map skills that we have learned today. If you have questions, please ask. Realize Mr. Grzelak can only help one person at a time, so please each your fellow peers for assistance first!

HOMEWORK MENU WEEK TWO DUE – Friday, September 9th, 2011 (By the start of class or it is late) It is divided by day, but you are allowed to turn it all in at the end of the week. If you it to me (as it states on the paper), you earn extra credit for using technology.
