How Does Geography Affect the Way People Live?

Na Nga Def!!! (That's hello in the country of Senegal!)

Today we are going to start looking at our first region in Africa, West Africa. There are a lot of different types of landscapes in West Africa. Some of them you learned about yesterday with your vocabulary word homework! We are going to learn more about each type of environment and think about how it affects people’s lives.

DO NOW: As a group, think of 5 ways that living in Wisconsin affects your life. (For example: Living in Wisconsin I can’t be a surfer. Living in Wisconsin, I can eat all the cheese I want!) Have the recorder write this down on paper, or somewhere on their ipad (Notes, GoogleDocs, etc.). When you finish, open up the classwork.

CLASSWORK: Open "1.2 West African Climate" in eBackpack. (You will want to open this in notability)

HOMEWORK: Finish classwork, if not completed in class.
