5 THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY

- The Absolute Latitude and Longitude is the exact location of a place like 40°W and 100°E. If someone has an accident in Pretty Girl country, they have to know the exact location where they stand and The Relative Location is a place that is relative to another place. Example: If someone doesn't know where to find the Pink River he has to know what is the opposite of that place like The Crazy Mountain.
- The movement means people move from one area to another. Just like people from Rock Girl Country who moved to Pretty Country where in the Capital City is there. Transferring of ideas is by education and research. Because in Pretty Girl have a lot of schools, jobs, houses, buildings,... When they move, they have to study the different language of another country in order to make conversation with people.
- The Human - Environment Interaction is how the people adapted to their new environment. Like people came to know other languages by meeting other people from different country. They came to learn the culture and tradition of that place.
- The Place is both man made and physical. Physical Place like mountains, rivers and forests. Man Made are those buildings, railways, airports and roads.
- The Region is a part of a country that has the same human characteristic, climate and geography. Just like Stylish Girl which has forests, rivers and minerals.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ?? READ READ READ !!!!

Hi Mr Blake,

- From the past, i have learned a lot of things. I have learned from my parents, my friends, my teacher and of course from myself. Things that are surprising and funny. A lot of interesting things also. In my life, i always respect myself and other people, some of them have taught me many things like: being responsible, respect to others, to be modest, study hard and more good things. I have learned most of them from my parents since I was young and until now. They have taught me from basic to complex things and how to deal with it.

- My parents have taught me how to eat properly using chopsticks and spoon, how to take a shower by myself, how to get dressed, how to put on my socks and how things works. They also let me to discover some things by myself. My interaction start with my family and then with my friends. I have learned what friendship is, sharing, giving and forgiving. They helped me to know the place outside home, they encouraged me to study hard and have a best score in all subjects. I have learned by myself that I need to grow and work harder as much as I can. I need to be more responsible in all aspects. I have to make my parents proud of me. I will study more and more to get a good grade. And after i did the Family tree, i have learned a lot of things. My parents didn't help me anything to do the project. I could learn a lot of things new like: how to do the power point, how to lecture in front of my classmates. From this project I could improve my English and make it to be better. So that's it, thank you for reading :) Bye !!
