Viewed & heard the final presentations of a student's Personal Texas
Analyzed the Regions of Texas Using Various Media
- Google Maps - identified regions & subregions as seen on GooMaps
- Raised relief maps of Texas, the USA, and the World - visual & tactile comprehension of the regions
- Maps of USA showing that regions of Texas actually begin elsewhere & extend into Texas
- Maps showing different names & boundaries of the regions & sub-regions
- Responded to a student's claim that "the Great Plains are dead" by acknowledging that farming there was generally not done during Indian times but then zooming in on a Google Map to see how parts of the Great Plains of Texas are now one of the most productive agricultural regions in the state Click + repeatedly to zoom in; pay particular attention to the green areas west of Plainview and in the Dalhart-Dumas area (although you'll see the same factor in many parts of the Panhandle); as we zoomed, students repeatedly hypothesized as to what they were seeing
- No specific assignment due Friday
- Continue preparing for Monday's Regions Debate.
