LEARNING GEOGRAPHY 3RD GRADE ROU VIGO SPAIN

I HOPE THIS DOCUMENT HELPS YOU TO LEARN HOW TO PRESENT A LABELLED OR ANNOTATED PICTURE (LANDSCAPE) IN GEOGRAPHY. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ASK FELIPE, YOUR TEACHER...

HOW CAN I PRESENT A LABELLED OR ANNOTATED PICTURE
Felipe´s tip

1ST PART “THE LABELLED PICTURE”
You should label or annotate information related to possible key words
e.g
label 1 RIVER (the river provides water suply to people in this area and can be used for transport)
label 2 CROPS ( good farming land makes easy vineyards in the Banks of the river)
ETC…..
The more labels the better, but with information added...

2ND PART “FIELDSKETCH”
You will have to draw a fieldsketch from the picture you have chosen. Do it in the way Felipe taught you in geography and add to each part of the fieldsketch the respective key Word.

3RD PART “ A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THE LANDSCAPE”
The more vocabulary and information you add the better! Do not be lazy, please…

ABOUT TECTONIC PLATES

Hi students!! as you well know we have studied the Continental Drift and the Theory about Tectonic Plates, so let´s play and let´s enjoy this question: you have to guess what type of plate boundary there is in the area affected by the recent earthquake of Haiti. Try to investigate on a map of tectonic plates and give an answer.

I am going to make easy the way for the right answer: is it a Constructive, Destructive or a Conservative boundary ?

Search for information and explain to the class next day why "Port Prince" ,the capital of Haiti, was so damaged and with so many casualties and victims. If you do a good investigation you will get something in return for your work....what it is? Have a go! and in the mean time, I tell you that the reward is.............

A BIG ROUND APLAUSE FROM YOUR CLASSMATES AND FELIPE, YOU TEACHER!
