4. Large Scale Banana Production
REGIONS
Perceptual: US Pizza Preference Map
Large Scale Banana Production
Formal: Provinces of France
Functional: Agriculture Production

5. What are REGIONS:
An area sharing similar or unifying features.

6. FORMAL REGIONS
Defined by GOVERNMENT BOUNDARIES.
Examples: National Border of Uganda, City Limits of Houston

7. Defined by a SPECIFIC USE
FUNCTIONAL REGIONS
Defined by a SPECIFIC USE
Examples: Airline, Newspaper, Public Transport Routes
Airline Routes
Climate Zones of the World

8. PERCEPTUAL REGION
Loosely defined by PEOPLE’S POINT of VIEW. Examples: Middle East, South

9. Work in pairs to make a list of new examples of
3+ FORMAL REGIONS,
3+ FUNCTIONAL REGIONS
& 3+ PERCEPTUAL REGIONS

11. So What Region is Texas in?
1.3 REGIONS JOURNAL
Write a paragraph giving 3+ reasons explaining which perceptual region you think Texas belongs in.
So What Region is Texas in?
South?
Southwest?
Plains?
Midwest?
Central?
South Central?
Gulf Coast?
Dixie?

This is an example of what kind of region?
Perceptual

12. Imaginary lines that run but MEASURE NORTH / SOUTH;
east / west
but MEASURE NORTH / SOUTH;
LATITUDE
Poles = 90º
Equator = 0º
Latitude lines can also be called “Parallels”

13. Imaginary lines that run north / south but
MEASURE EAST / WEST;
LONGITUDE
Prime Meridian = 0º
ALSO CALLED MERIDIANS

14. GRID SYSTEM = COORDINATES
LAtitude always comes first,
then lOngitude
(alphabetically), a lot like X, Y axis points in math.
Examples : 43ºN, 27ºE or ºS, 73ºW

15. VID CLIP: Latitude/Longitude Rap

16. HEMISPHERES
Hemispheres are large REGIONS that divide the world into HALF
EAST/WEST is divided at the PRIME MERIDIAN& 180º
NORTH/SOUTH is divided at the EQUATOR to the POLES
4 Hemispheres
Northern
Southern
Eastern
Western

17. NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Everything NORTH of the EQUATOR

18. SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
Everything SOUTH of the EQUATOR

19. EASTERN HEMISPHERE
Everything EAST of the PRIME MERIDIAN (0º)up to 180º

20. WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Everything WEST of the PRIME MERIDIAN (up to 180º)

22. PRACTICE: ZOMBIE ROADTRIP
Use Atlas pg 68-69
Use latitude and longitude to find where each city named is located
Use letters to show where each city is found on the map
Write Lat/Long Coordinates

23. GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
A computerized system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. 

24. VID CLIP: Geospatial Revolution

26. 20 QUESTIONS
Pairs
1st person chooses a major city found in the Atlas on pg 8-9
2nd person makes guesses using yes/no questions about the hemispheres, continents, latitude and longitude coordinates

27. BATTLESHIP
Pair up
Use maps to “hide” 4 battleships on the oceans of the world
Battleships may only be located on latitude/longitude lines ending in 0
none of your battleships may be located in the same 2 hemispheres as any of your other battleships
Take turns use latitude/longitude coordinates “torpedo” your partner’s battleship

28. Longitude & Latitude are easy if you have the right attitude
LATITUDE measures South and North
Up and down from the Equator they sally forth
They’re the lines that run from East to West
Like the rungs of a ladder, you’ll pass the test
Just don’t forget they go both ways, North is up, South is down, so look both ways
The Prime Meridian is where the LONGITUDE’s coming from
Zero at Greenwich is where to get your bearings from
Measures west to East
Lines are drawn from North to South
If it seems confusing, just keep listening to my mouth
Just don’t forget they go both ways, East is right, West is left, just look both ways.
Like a number line or a football field, to the cardinal directions Latitude yields
Like a number line or a football field, to the cardinal directions Longitude yields

29. CAPITALS of ASIA
Atlas pg
1-24 = 1st set
25-48 = 2nd set
