Unit+4--How+do+resources+affect+a+region?

Mapping Lab Challenge Project
At the beginning of the last two units, I challenged you to complete a mapping lab activity to familiarize you with the regions we were studying. Now, it's your turn to challenge each other in the same way as follows:

1. You will be assigned a team: **Southwest and Central Asia** OR **Monsoon Asia** (see team list below).

2. Your team will need to locate the introductory geography section of your assigned region in your //Geography Alive!// textbooks (use the table of contents to help you with this).

3. Research the geography section to identify the key __**human** **resources**__ and **__physical resources__** of your region.

4. Develop a Mapping Lab Activity using __**all five maps**__ of your region located in the **atlas** section of your book: **Political, Physical, Climate, Vegetation,** and **Natural Resources.**

5. You will have Thursday and Friday's class to develop your activity.

6. Your activity should take the other team most of the period to complete in class on Tuesday.

7. This will be the first assessment task of the unit, and I will be looking at the Concepts and Skills criteria when assessing your work on this.
