THE EARTH FROM ABOVE Geographic Themes From The Air: MOVEMENT

Abstract

THE EARTH FROM ABOVE is a visual aid depicting the physical and cultural landscape of Normal, IL and surrounding communities. The kit provides teachers with a series of slides and accompanying learning activities that develop the geographic themes of location, place, movement, human/envi- ronment interaction and region. Students are provided an aerial perspective that requires them to use their powers of observation. The learner is then engaged in observation, speculation, analysis and evaluation (OSAE can you see), critical thinking skills development. The lessons and slides are adaptable to any grade level and can be utilized by teachers in any region of the nation.
