APGEO: Do Nows, 8/24 and 8/25

Tues 8/24:

By the time class starts, get started silently working on the following:

Grab a sheet of blank white copy paper from the pile near the front of the room.
Take about 5-8 minutes to quickly sketch an outline map, with labels, of the world’s continents and oceans. No pressure – and don’t look at each other’s papers (it will be graded for effort only).

Write your name and the date (8/24/10) on the back.

Weds 8/25:

Think about the mental maps you drew this week and write a reflection paragraph answering 2 or 3 of the following questions:

1. Why do you think certain businesses or other institutions are located where they are on your map?
2. How do you think people have influenced the physical and/or cultural environment in a particular area noted on your map?
3. How long have you lived in the Durham area? How has this affected your mental map?
4. Do you have a car, a bicycle? Do you depend on your parents for transportation? Do you walk everywhere? How have your transportation options affected your mental map?
