Students,
Today we remembered 9/11 and we watched This video. We reflected on why we remember 9/11 and how it affected our cultural geography (how we live our lives)
We also took on the role of location analysts for my alternative energy company. Students were asked to combine all of the knowledge they've accrued over the past two weeks, and apply it to a real world problem. Students were asked to use maps, knowledge of climate, principles of the Earth Sun relationship, and sheer wit, to find the optimal place for my company to construct a Corn farm (to produce ethanol), a Wind Farm (to harvest wind energy), and a solar panel array (to produce energy).
You would / will then create a proposal to tell me why exactly I should invest my money into the location that you have selected. This acts as quite an effective review for the test, so while / if you work on this at home try to realize the tools that you are using could show up on your test!
Homework: Work on location analyst worksheet.
AP STUDENTS: World Map Posters, will be due September 23rd.
