Grades 7–8 • Session 2: July 6–July 17

To begin their study of geography, students were introduced to the five themes of geography; location, place, region, movement, and human-environment interaction. Once they understood the concepts, they created collages finding pictures that best represented each theme. The class then began their project which consisted of a three week trip to a continent, visiting at least four countries, documenting their stay, travel arraignments, and facts about the country. Upon completion of the project, each student presented their travel journal to the class.
