Our Geography

Geography, another part of social studies. For this lesson, we were to take a picture of our neighborhood. When we got to class, we saw a great diversity of landscapes. We taped the pictures up on the wall so that we were able to get a better view of all of them. When they were all together, we were able to see many similarities and differences. Some of us live in the country, others live in the city. Some of us have big front or back yard, and some of us have none.
Teaching students about geography has to start at home so that they do not get overwhelmed. What a better way to start than by comparing the neighborhoods where they live. If students are not able to get a picture of their neighborhood, there is always google maps where the teacher is able to get a quick map. Once students relate these differences and siliarities in close neighborhoods, they will be able to undertsand differences among states and other countries in the world
