Lecciones Geografía. A Supply Chain. Mapping Our Human Footprint. Human Footprint Interactive. Life on the Great Plains. Activity 1. Defining the Region Divide the class into research teams, provide each team with a fresh copy of the outline map of the United States, and have them produce maps of the Great Plains based on the geography of the region.
Have each team note and/or represent on its map the formal characteristics they use to define this region: for example, landform, climate, average rainfall, vegetation, land use, population density, etc. Direct students to standard library reference works for their research. In addition, two websites listed in the "Resources and Links" section of the National Geographic Society Xpeditions website may be helpful. The Map Machine at nationalgeographic.com provides a physical map of the United States indicating the general location of the Great Plains. Display the students' maps and again discuss similarities and differences, focusing this time on the formal characteristics that students have used to define the Great Plains. Activity 2.
