Leader: You will need copies of the National Standards
for this activity. You may print them here.
Please keep participants to five minutes of individual
writing and facilitate discussion for the remaining time.
Choose one
of the 18 National Geography Standards. Working individually,
take five minutes to address the following questions
in writing. First, write down your chosen standard. How did
it relate to the video case study? What geographic issue did
your chosen standard help to explain? Why did you choose that
standard? Choose another geographic issue or phenomenon anywhere
in the world that relates to your standard. How can your chosen
standard help explain this geographic issue/phenomenon to you
and/or your students?
For the
remaining 10 minutes, please discuss your answers with
the group.
