    b. Geography is the study of the earths landscape, peoples, places, and their
    environment
    c. How the Battle of Thermopylae highlights geographical constraints
    d. Major geographical terms such as Relative Position vs Absolute Position,
    Latitude, Longitude, Equator, Meridian, Degrees, and the North and South
    Pole.
    e. How perspective changes the view of the globe, but globe maps all
    represents the same thing.
    III. Lesson Content:
    a. Mission: To answer the following questions:
    i. What is Geography?

    i. Where is San Antonio? Where is Great Hearts Northern Oaks?
    1. In each of these examples, ask students to explain the
    following: Why did you write what you wrote? Are there
    other ways of describing how to get from one location to
    the other?
    2. In their answers, begin to introduce the ideas of relative
    position: relative position is the use of common landmarks,
    or other objects that are relatively close to the desired
    location.
    ii. Notes: relative position is the use of common landmarks, or
    other known objects that are relatively close to the desired
    location / or describing where a place is by describing the
    places near it.
    c. Make claim that you have an absolute answer to the location of San
    Antonio: Absolute Location: 29.4167 degree North, 98.5000 degrees
    West. This answer is indisputable!
    d. Use board to help students draw compass: North South, East West.
    i. Introduce concept of Absolute Position:
    ii. Notes: Absolute position describes a places exact address or
    Geographic Address using latitude and longitude. The Equator

    and the Prime Meridian gives us a constant position of


    reference.
    Break down this definition further:
    1. Latitude: East-West lines that circle around the globe.
    AKA. Parallels
    2. Longitude: North-South lines that wrap around the
    globe aka meridians.
    Do these definitions help us? Can we understand where San
    Antonio is? What would we need??
    A universal or absolute point of reference for both latitude and
    longitude
    Use MAP of the WORLD to show Equator, Prime Meridian, North
    Pole and South Pole:
    1. Equator: line that divides the middle of the globe into north
    and south hemispheres 0 degrees latitude
    a. Above equator is North, below equator is south
    2. Prime Meridian: runs through Greenwich, England that
    divides globe into East and West hemisphere 0 degrees
    longitude
    a. To the right of Prime Meridian is East, to the Left is
    West.
    Key Parts to a Map
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    o Compass Rose model of a compass that tells us the


    Cardinal directions which are North, South, East, and West
    o Title and Subject Tells us what region the map covers
    and also what information the map highlights
    o Distance scale indicates how far to go to get to a
    destination scale tells you the one inch on a map
    represents a particular distance on the land
    o Key (Legend)- symbols for features such as national and
    state parks, various types of roads, sizes of towns, and
    cities:
    o Grid: parallels and meridians

    e. Lets look at different maps of the world, and see if absolute position
    works here too!
    i. Use the different projections of the globe
    ii. Mercator, Interrupted, Equal Area, Peters, Robinson, and with
    center as Pacific Ocean.
    1. Use Resources found in Geography textbook and maps
    from online.
    iii. Q/A. How or why does these different ways of depicting the globe
    have the same absolute position?
    1. Notes: no matter the depiction, all maps must take the
    Latitude Longitude Grid seriously for their map to have any
    kind of legitimacy.
