Hello grade sixers!
Today we are going to look at the climate (the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period) in North America and the Agriculture (farming) in North America. You are going to create 2 maps, one for climate and one for agriculture. As per usual, the maps need to be neat, have a legend, a title and a compass rose.
See these links for the maps.
Agriculture (ignore the text boxes)
Climate
After you have completed the maps lie them out in front of you and make some observations. Use the questions below as a starting point
What do you notice about the climate and the type of farming?
What type of farming does each country do? Does it have anything to do with the climate of each country?
Which country has more suitable farmland?
Answer these questions, based on your own observations and write a one page summery about your findings. It is a good idea to make point form notes first (as a rough copy) and then write it out in full sentences. I don't simply want to see the questions and your written answer below it. The questions above are a starting place and I want your group to take these questions and form a well thought out response to the correlation between agriculture and climate
DUE MARCH 6
