Today I taught

So today in class we went over some basic terms for the Earth and locations. But besides that boring topic I taught the class. It was really hectic and a complete train wreck. I started off with listing off the three basic ways locations are identified. Toponyms; name give to a place dependent on people, religious affiliation, physical features, and origins. Site; name given to a place dependent on physical character, climate, water, topography, soil, vegetarian, latitude, and elevation. Lastly, Situation; name given to a place dependent on its location relative to other places. A place is a specific point on Earth, and those are how these places are named. Of course, describing the features of a place is an essential building block for geographers to explain similarities, differences, and changes across Earth. Basically by the end of it everybody had a good laugh (at me) and we all learned that that is why each point on Earth is Unique.

  1. But at least it was a woke train wreck.

    Thanks for pitching in! (Not as easy as it looks, is it?)
