This is unit 2 of 4 units. The sequence of units is available in the Read Me First Materials in each unit. In module 1 of this unit, students will learn to think like a geographer as they analyze landforms and population density in the United States and around the world. In module 2 of this unit, students examine what it means to have a renewable resource and what it means to have a nonrenewable resource. Students will use the "See/Think/Wonder" strategy for analyzing images and thinking like a historian to determine the impact on the environment of using different types of resources. In module 3 of this unit, students will examine human impact over time using primary sources. At the end of this unit, students will demonstrate their understanding of human environmental impact by developing a city planning project. They will work together to problem-solve, present solutions, examine the impact on the environment, and make recommendations.
