Today we designated the regions of the world on a map, then identified two dozen nations by region. Some of these countries were obvious (the US, Russia, China) and others were more obscure (Tibet, Haiti). But we need to have a geographic foundation as we begin to study Human Geography. As we study various regions of our planet, we need to know what nations (and what people) occupy these regions. You used a variety of sources to find these nations: your text, maps, even Google Earth. I will compile a list of the most useful sources and list them for you for your future use.
Tonight, complete today's work if you did not finish in class. Many of you need to update your blog to include two key elements of your notes: our definition of globalization, and the five themes of Human Geography (seen on the right-hand side of this page). Get in the habit of writing in this blog every day after class. What should you write? Sometimes it will be something as simple as reviewing what we did in class. You may transfer your class notes. Often you will do your homework assignment in your blog. The key is to spend at least a couple minutes thinking about today's class, and writing down your thoughts. I can't wait to read your stuff!
One final note: today we welcomed Rachel to the famous 01 section. We hope you enjoy JC and feel at home as a member of the class of '13!
