Curricular Competency
Assess a variety of interpretations of geographic evidence after investigating different perspectives, reliability of sources, and adequacy of evidence (evidence and interpretation)
Elaboration
  • Sample activities:
    •  Research a contentious geographic issue by examining different sides of the issue, comparing the evidence, and reaching a conclusion. The following are some possible issues to research:
      • buying local versus imported produce
      • environmental impact of living in cities versus living in rural areas
      • impact of climate change on northern regions versus equatorial regions
    •  Compare different versions of a world map and talk about what the differences mean (e.g., Mercator projection makes Africa and Greenland look the same size even though they aren’t).
