Be a Geography DetectiveOverview:At first glance, a landscape can be beautiful, boring, colorful, disturbing. Using the skills of a geography detective, however, students can learn more about the land and the relationships humans have with it. Students will apply the six "essential elements" of geography (location, places and regions, physical systems, human systems, environment and society, and uses of geography) as they make in-depth observations and draw conclusions about historical landscapes. They will demonstrate understanding by writing journal entries, sketching landscapes, and making mental maps.Connections to the Curriculum:geography, language arts, science, history, art
