Students are to take pictures of places and things important to them. Each picture should include a description of the picture and why it is important to the student. Pictures can include, but are not limited to: family gatherings, sports events, places, nature, home, school, friends, belongings, community events, important buildings, and places they’ve been. The pictures presented should represent the culture of the student.
Before the project we will discuss geography and geographical influences. How does where we live influence our life? (Speech, food, dress, action) How do you think it influences our thoughts and beliefs? If we lived in another country would we still hold the same beliefs as we do in this country? What about a different region of this country? What shapes your personal culture?
Be prepared to explain your product.
