1. Teacher Instructions :
I like to show the map and ask students what they see first. Then, click on
each feature and expand while posing questions. Questions to consider…
1. How do/did rivers or bodies of water impact trade or sustain life?
2. How do/did mountains or water create obstacles for trade or human
interaction?
3. How do you think people adapted (to a specific region)?
4. Which continents are most accessible from this region?
5. What sort of natural resources can you predict came from the North,
South, Eat or West based on the physical geography you see?

environment for survival?
7. Which regions have the longest growing seasons or most likely have the
highest amount of vegetation?
