Note Taking
Copy this information
onto a piece of lined
paper.
As we go through the
slides take notes on
each topic in its box.

read, hear, and see
and put it in their own
words.
Movement
The movement of people, the import
and export of goods, and ideas have all played
major roles in shaping our world.
People everywhere interact.
They travel from place to place and
they communicate. We interact with
each other through travel, trade,
information flows (E-Mail) and political
events. Not only do humans and goods
move but ideas move also.
*What is an example of an idea that moves?
How would our lives change if our movement
options changed? What would happen if we
traveled by camel or horse? How do we move
from place to place? How do we actually get food?
Movement of People
People have been
moving from place
to place since our
ancestors first
inhabited this
planet.
People move to
make their lives
better.
Examples:
Why did people
move in the past?
Why do people
move today?
Movement of People
Movement of Goods
People need lots of
things to survive.
If your home
doesn’t have all the
resources you need
or want, what can
you do?
People trade goods
to have better,
easier lives.
Examples:
What kinds of goods
do we import (bring
to) Cache Valley?
What kinds of goods
do we export (send
away) from Cache
Valley?
Movement of Goods
Movement of Ideas
People teach each other
new ideas and how to do
things.
When people travel to new
places they learn things
and teach people things.
Ideas like farming, religion,
and technology have
changed the way people
live all over the planet!
Examples:
How do you know
what to wear to
school?
Why can we eat
food from far
away cultures like
Japan, Mexico,
and Italy?
Movement of Ideas
Natural
Resources
Utah transports
(moves) lots of
different natural
resources.
We will use it to locate
and label different
natural resources
around the state.
We will work together in
class on this and what we
don’t finish is homework.
Let’s practice together!
If you have a hard time fitting everything into a
space, think of it like a grid. Your dots and
words can be put anywhere within the grid box.
Homework
Finish the rest of the map in Advisory
today or tonight.
The map should only take about 20
minutes total to finish (if that) if you
stay on task.
