Lesson 1: 5 Fields of Social StudiesSocial Studies is not just a bunch of people, events, and dates organized by a time line. Each field should be thought of as a layer of paint on a canvas that is ever changing to make the world what it is today.
Social Studies can be more generally thought of as the stories of the people, the layout of the land, the people in power, the value of a dollar, and finally the beliefs and customs of a people. 1.

Lesson 2: 5 Themes of GeographyGeography is one field of Social Studies in which the layout of the land is a major factor in the influence on the history, politics, economics, and cultures of a people.
There are generally 5 ways in which geography impacts our world and they are called themes. The 5 themes of Geography are movement, region, human-environmental impact, location, and place. 5 Lessons Overview Geography Lesson Resources Day 1- 5 Themes -Mr. Help Day 2-Our World Map Game Day 3-Types of Maps Practice Longitude & Latitude Understanding Regional Geography Continental Geography Study Cards Geographical Movement of People |

Lesson 2: 5 Themes of Geography Mastery Objectives:
Upon completing this unit, students will be able to:
1.) Differentiate among various flat world map projections in terms of their relative distortion of land shape and area.
2.) Identify the earth’s continents and describe alternative ways of naming them.
3.) Evaluate geographers’ opinions concerning the boundaries of continents and their relationships to each other and to bodies of water.
4.) Compare views of earth from different vantage points and identify several large regions as stages of world history
5.) Define continental drift and explain in general terms how global land masses came to be distributed as they are today.
6.) Analyze the relationship between vegetation zones, population distribution, and paths of interaction in historical time.
7.) Evaluate topographical features of earth in terms of their impact on the mobility of flora, fauna, and human beings.
