1. World Geography EOC Comprehensive Map Review Based on the 6 Essential Elements of Geography
Modified from: CFBISD

2. Teacher Information Materials Needed:
Tape, Glue sticks, and map colors
Student Map – The map is in a Publisher File and will automatically print the world map on 6 different sheets of paper. Students will have to tape the maps together. (This may take about 20 minutes or so for 9th graders).
Student Packet – each student will need the student resource packet – since these items will be cut up, it is essential that you run the packets on only one side of the paper. Suggestion: Since not all of the cutting and gluing will happen on the same day – you might want to give the students a manila folder, envelope, or plastic bag to hold their remaining items.
Power Point
Atlases or textbooks

3. 5/12/14
QOD: What is the name of the group who has kidnapped hundreds of children in an oil rich African country?
Boko Haram
Why is this group doing this?
“Many Nigerians suggest the emergence of Boko Haram was in part a reaction to this systematized corruption,” Chayes wrote in an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times.

4. World Geography EOC Review
Below is an example of what your map will look like when we are complete.

5. Your Map will include items on the back …
We will process significant information on the back of your map.

6. The World in Spatial Terms
Refers to the connections that people, places, and environments have to one another because of their location on the earth’s surface.
Maps represent places on the Earth’s surface, and can be used to answer geographic questions, infer relationships, and analyze change.
Processes of spatial diffusion has influenced the past, shapes the present, and will influence events in the future.
National boundaries (borders), generally set up by governments, are the product of both physical and human processes.
Location, or a specific place on earth, does not determine exactly how we live, but it does influence our lives.

7. Task: Map Set-up Put the 6 pages together to create the map.
Write name in the top, left corner of the map.
Grab a pair of scissors and glue stick
Cut out the legend and glue to the bottom, left corner of the map.

8. Borders and Boundaries
The world is divided into many separate independent, national states, each with its own sovereign government.
What factors determine where boundaries between countries are established?
Teacher discusses borders and boundaries, and the idea that they are used to determine political units. Teachers can give examples of local, state, national, and international boundaries.
Glue Borders study card on the back of the map.

9. Task: Locate and label places of geopolitical significance.
Teachers may choose to have students draw in political boundaries of the places that they label.

10. Population Pyramids What do population pyramids tell us?
Teacher Script

17. Places and Regions
Regions are how geographers organize the study of geography.
Earth is crisscrossed and layered with a system of complex divisions.
Some boundaries are blurred, based largely on personal or group perceptions.
Every place has certain physical and human characteristics that make it different from any other.

18. Task: Regions of the World
Work as a group to come to a consensus on how to divide the world into regions.
Be able to defend your division of the world.
Cut out the types of regions (1) and Cultural Regions study cards (3), and glue to the back of the map.
Teachers can also choose to have students complete the brainstorm carousel exercise (Regional Wall Graffiti) that is in WG EOC Prep Book#2: Places and Regions. Students brainstorm various characteristics about each region in a systematic manner as determined by the teacher (rotating review or wall graffiti). When the regional overviews are all complete, the overviews are posted, and students participate in a gallery walk so that they can complete each regional overview.
Optional: Regional Wall Graffiti

20. Task: Characteristics of a Place
Work as a group, analyze each image:
What do you see?
What can you infer about the place?
Where do you think the picture was taken?
Why? What clues from the image helped you determine the location?
When your group has finished analyzing each image, cut out and glue the images near their respective location.
Give students about 2-3 minutes to analyze and discuss each image

29. Physical Systems
The earth’s system is made up of four interactive components: atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere
Both internal and external forces create, maintain, and modify the earth’s surface.
Landforms, soil, and climate greatly affect the plants and animals that can be found in each place.

30. Use the physical features diagram to identify landforms and discuss the physical processes that created them.

31. Task: Physical Features
Work as a group to locate, draw, and label the physical features listed in your resource packet. Be sure to reference the key.
Teacher Script
Students will take out prepared maps
Give each student a resource packet and have them put their names on them.

40. How does climate affect how people live?
Simple summary of climatic zones:
Polar - very cold and dry all year Temperate - cold winters and mild summers Arid - dry, hot all year Tropical - hot and wet all year Mediterranean - mild winters, dry hot summers Mountains (tundra) very cold all year
Review LACEMOP: Have students look at their maps, and determine how factors such as latitude, continentality, and mountain barriers impact climate.
The classification is based on maximum and minimum temperatures and the temperature range as well as the total and seasonal distribution of precipitation.

41. Earth’s oceans are in constant motion.
How do you think ocean currents and storm tracks impact climate?
Ocean currents are movements of the earth’s ocean waters. These currents occur both at the ocean’s surface and below. Ocean currents carry warm water from the tropics to colder regions, and cold water from the polar regions towards the tropics. This transfer of energy helps maintain a balance.

42. Soil and Vegetation
How do soil and climate help to determine the vegetation of a region?
The type of soil, the temperature, and amount of precipitation influenced the type of vegetation that thrives naturally in a region. Variations in climate lead to distinct vegetation regions based on similarities of plant and animal life.
Look at the vegetation map, what inferences can you make about the climate?

43. Task: Physical Processes
Glue the study cards on the back of your map.
Atmosphere and Weather
Climate

70. Uses of Geography
Both physical features and cultures change over time.
The management and distribution of natural resources affects trade patterns and poses problems, especially if there is scarcity.
Globalization, including outsourcing and the creation of free trade zones, is changing economies around the world today and providing challenges for the future.
Democratic systems are gradually replacing many authoritative regimes worldwide.
