5 Themes of geography-Reflect-Social Studies


The five themes of geography helps people better understand connections between people and the earth because each of them is related to something that has to do with humans and learning about the five themes, such as human and environment interaction, a way that humans interact with the earth by wearing clothes to suit the climate.

I thought that region was the hardest theme to understand because I didn’t really understand on what to do and also I had trouble understanding what the questions meant and how to do it.

Social Studies-Map Skills

I found that Oceans and Continents  for basic maps skills was easy because I understood it right when I opened up the tab. To me it was easy because I learned most of the oceans and continents in 2nd grade and what we were learning was just a refresh. What I struggled most with in the basic map skills was the coordinates. I found it way more difficult because I have never used coordinates on maps before, only in math from last year, and in math last year I was really bad at coordinate anyways. So it was very tricky for me. What made it more difficult for me was that I have never used it before and I would likely never use it ever again and it also I was very bad at multiplying and adding.

Basic map skills are necessary because they can help us understand the world, locations, and how to use a map better. They can help me understand geography more because I have never really learned any of these ways except Oceans and Continents.
