- Many state standards
at the middle school level focus on students using geographical tools
to make analysis of data. The goal of this project is for students
to use certain geographical tools and apply them to real life. As
individuals, students are to submitt a picture and a short paragraph
to the project email. The picture and the paragraph will then be posted
on the project website for other students around the world to view.
The paragraph will include four major parts. First, a major landmark
of the area or location. Second, the type of region they live in (Midwest
United States, etc.), Third, one or two major characteristics of their
environment or culture . Fourth, the longitude and latitude of their
location. Student will then use the geographical clues in the paragraph
and from the picture to try to guest where the student is located
in the world. The site will organize a table so that students can
compare their data to make sure they have the correct location of
each picture/student.
