Review
• The following people please read aloud your purpose for
regions:
Kayla

Evan
Take these notes:
Think of it like this…
Regions are not drawn into the dirt
Sometimes regions are easily identifiable: Example the
desert, I can easily tell when I am in a desert.
Sometimes regions are difficult to identify: Example
unless I am told by a sign it is difficult to tell if I am in
Maryland or Delaware.
Identify some regions
• On the map that I’ve given you independently I want you
to identify any regions that you see. Feel free to color
code it so they can be seen easily.
Example:
Atlantic Coast
Identify some regions
With your Partner compare maps (5 minutes)
During your comparison:
1. Add new regions
2. Delete regions that don’t make sense
3. Modify your map based on discussion
Categorize your regions
With your Partner get out your vocab matrix, place each of
the regions you created into one of the 4 categories.
ECONOMIC
PHYSICAL
Example:
Atlantic Coast
POLITICAL
SOCIAL
Identify some regions
• Join with the pair nearest you; share the results of your
categorization.
• Compare your findings
- Add, delete, & modify your charts and maps
• Prepare to share out 1 from each category

I just don’t get how a
region is defined!
Well then you came

Sometimes it’s easy because
the regional boundaries are
