The America’s are two continents connected by a narrow
bridge called an isthmus, however, their geographies and climates are very
different. Mountains run along the western parts of both continents, and both
have rivers that flow down these mountain ranges. Each continent then has
unique physical features. However, each continent has a very unique climate
that in turn affects the season and living conditions in each of these areas. In
class, students will work together to complete a mapping lab experience that
will require them to examine several maps of Latin America in order to identify
physical features and conditions that could influence human settlement in this
part of the world. They will then discuss advantages and disadvantages of each
region identified. Next, students will design homes that reflect Latin America
environments they have identified in the mapping lab in order to identify how geography
influences the development of culture in this part of the world. ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO FINISH HOME DESIGN
