Social Studies 5 Themes of Geography Reflection

By Anonymous -

The five themes of geography help people understand connections between people and the earth, because they show how people interact and are connected. Region shows the characteristics that unite an area. Place shows the human and physical characteristics of a place. Location shows where a place is. Movement shows how people and ideas get around in an area. Human Environment Interaction shows how people interact, alter, and adapt to their environment.


Movement is the hardest theme of geography to understand, because it is the most similar to all of the other themes so it gets confusing. For example: a community builds a bridge so that kids can go to school. It could be human environment interaction, because they are changing the environment, but it is also movement!

If there is a lower standard of living you might want to consider somewhere else. “Man Holding White Sack Walking Beside Street Stores.”  Free Stock Photos , www.pexels .com/photo/man-holding-white-sack-walking-beside-street-stores-761144 /."

My Map Skills Summary

By Anonymous -
I find that knowing the continents are easy, because I hear about them all the time and their general locations. I struggle with latitudes and longitudes, because if there is a meridian, it puzzles me to figure out which direction it goes to. The fact that latitude is horizontal but goes up and vice versa is confusing to me. Basic map skills are necessary, because they teach you about the world around you in a general concept. They teach you about geography by giving you the information to find different land features.
