Classwork: Today we started chapter 2: Seeing the world like a Geographer.  We read the story of how John Snow saved a town from a cholera outbreak by using his skills as a geographer.  We discussed the following vocab words and tied them in with our hand drawn maps of cities we made.  The vocab words are:

1. climate
2. economic activity
3. landform
4. physical features
5. thematic maps

Homework:  Discuss with parents how climate, physical features, and landforms can influence a city's economic activity.
