Now that you have had the opportunity to address your current global region, identify your new global region, and gain feedback from your instructor to polish those parts of your presentation, you are ready to narrow your focus really hone in on your new locale. An entire region may be too large to describe in detail for your final project presentation, so narrowing the focus to a particular city or area of a country will allow for deeper exploration of the
Themes of Geography that make up your region. For this milestone activity, complete the worksheet with additional presentation speaker notes that you will use for your final project presentation and continue drafting your presentation slides.
Use the following for the Slide structure:
1. Moving to: Northern Frontier (Fairbanks, Alaska)
2. Current Location: Andean Region (Medellín, Colombia)
3. Current Region: Land of the Andean Countries of South America
a. Discuss where your current region is located, addressing the absolute and relative location of the region.
4. Characteristics of the Current Global Region
a. Explain what key sociocultural (human) and physical characteristics define this as a region.
5. Interactions of the Current Global Region
a. How have humans and the environment interacted to produce observable landscapes in your current region?
6. Fairbanks, Alaska
a. Provide a map of the new region you will be moving to
7. Location of New Global Region
a. Discuss where the new region is located, addressing the absolute and relative location of the region you will be moving to
8. Characteristics of the New Global Region
a. Explain what key sociocultural (human) and physical characteristics define this as a region
9. Interactions of the New Global Region
a. How have humans and the environment interacted to produce observable landscapes in the new region you will be moving to?
10. Similarities
a. Based on the physical and sociocultural (human) characteristics you have described, what are the major similarities between your current and new region?
11. Differences
a. Based on the physical and sociocultural (human) characteristics you have described, what are the major differences between your current and new region?
12. Why I’m moving
a. What connects you personally to this new location, causing you to relocate?
1. As a veteran, I’m drawn to Fairbanks’ military presence and veteran support. My academic goals in climate and geography align with Arctic research in the area.
