Good week to all of you,
As we begin our on-line journey in our study of Geography, we will be learning skills to support the information you read in text (online or your textbook), how to make connections that relate to your lives, and how to apply what you learn in your study of Asia.
Remember, that it will be a new way for all of you and me to learn about Asia. The areas you will explore include the physical geography; its history; culture and regions of the continent of Asia.
Today, become familiar with the physical map of the continent, Asia.
Which countries are a part of Eastern Asia? There are six (6).
In Southeast Asia? There are ten (10).
In South Asia? There are eight (8).
In Southwest Asia or sometimes referred to as the Middle East? There are twenty-two (22).
Refer to the Regional Database in your textbook or locate the countries online. (Some of you utilized your textbook to locate the countries when we studied Europe).
What major bodies of water and rivers do you see?
What is the capital of each country?
In your Geography notebook, organize the information listed above into four (4) sections: Eastern Asia; Southeast Asia; South Asia; and Southwest Asia/the Middle East. List the countries in each section and write its capital. You can make flash cards to help you learn. And don’t forget to use the online resource that we used in class, Seterra, and take the quizzes to assess your proficiency.
Don’t get overwhelmed by the work. I know each of you can succeed and discover new information about the continent of Asia. Employ the 5 Themes of Geography to your exploration of ASIA!!!!
Stay tuned for more.....email me if you have questions. I miss you and hope you are well and excited about learning: SAS Colts 2020 Spring Online Geography Course offered by yours truly, Ms. O.
