The Five Themes of Geography: Knowledge Quest
Have you ever learned about something that--once you knew about it--you end up seeing it everywhere? It was like that when Mr. Peinert learned about the shape of a maple tree leaf (This was years ago!) From that point on, he didn't just see "trees" when we walked down the street--he saw maple trees!
The Five Themes of Geography are just like this. Once you learn about them, you start seeing them everywhere!
The first step is the KNOWLEDGE QUEST.
Here, you'll get to demonstrate your understanding of the Five Themes.
