Avian Flu Module: Notes
Name________________________________
GeoThentic has identified 10 locations for you to explore from around the world. Your task is to
locate these places and select 3 of them that you believe will be most impacted by the avian
flu. Next, you need to provide justifications that explain why you selected the locations you did.
Use the space on this worksheet to take notes that you can use when you submit your
GeoPack! Remember to record each location’s latitude and longitude coordinates!
