For this major grade you will be assigned a trip from one Latin
American capital to another Latin American capital. You will use the
“5 Themes of Geography” as well as the “Nine Traits of Culture” as
you guide in creating a Smore/PowerPoint/Prezzi/Slides (google
PowerPoint) trifold board. You will tell us about your starting point,
then 2 stops that need to be a Latin American capital and finally your
destination. You will have a total of 4 explanations. All boxes in the
rubric list the points possible.
The “Nine Traits of Culture” serve as a framework for the study of
culture in human societies.

3. Food and Shelter (Types / Styles)
4. Education Systems
5. Security/Protection
6. Relationships – Family and Others
7. Political and Social Organizations
8. Religion (beliefs / morals / mores)
9. Creative Expression – Recreation
Please refer to the 9 traits of culture PPT(Mr. Bond Unit 2).
