Part A (25 points) Read through the article on climate on pages 70-71 of your textbook. Follow the directions at the bottom of page 71 to research and create a climograph (climate graph) for a city in your region. You can find U.S. climate data at: http://www.usclimatedata.com/, or search the Internet or your local library for information. You can find world-wide climatological information at the World Weather Information Service (http://worldweather.wmo.int/en/home.html). 1. How would you describe the range of temperatures in Belem? What is the average temperature in Omsk in January? (5 points) 2. Most crops need water and warm temperatures in order to grow. Based on this information and the data in the climographs, what can you tell about the growing season in each city? (5 points) 3. Insert your climograph here, or upload it separately and put the Dropbox URL here. (15 points) Part B (75 points) Your assignment for this part is an in-depth investigation into the culture and geography of the country, state, or region in which you live. Your main purpose is to present the cultural and geographical features of your region (or state, city, or country) in such a way that people who have never visited there will gain a good understanding of the region and what makes it special. The region you live in can be the city, county, state, or nation that you live in. It could also be a geographical region such as the Midwest, the East Coast, or the South. You are free to decide whether you would like to do your project on a small region such as the city or community you live in, Project 1 71 SSTH 053 or a larger region such as the state or nation. Just remember, whichever you decide to present, you need to do a thorough job. Besides basic factual information, you will need to include some of the interesting cultural traditions and geographic features of your region. Be creative in what you present as well as how you present it. You are encouraged to add pictures, graphics, or links to websites that will enhance your project. Just be careful that you don’t overload the project with graphics and neglect the required content. Your project needs to contain the following information regarding the region you are investigating: 1. Geographical Elements: Include the following geographical information in your description of the region in which you live: (25 points) a. The name of the region. b. Location of the region, both absolute location and a relative location. c. Physical geography (including landforms and climate) of the region. d. Special or interesting geographical features of your region. 2. Cultural Elements. Include the following cultural information in your description of the region in which you live. (25 points) a. What groups of people originally settled this region? b. What elements of cultural heritage are still found in the region? c. How has the cultural heritage in this region affected the economic, political, or social systems that exist in the region today? (You may address just one of these, or more if you wish.) d. Provide at least four examples of cultural contributions that the people of this region have shared with the world. These can be examples of art, literature, architecture, food, music, and so on. You are welcome to give many more than four examples. 3. Sources. At the end of your project you need to list at least 3 (three) outside resources (not included in your course materials) that you used to compile the information for your project. You may feel free to use newspapers, encyclopedias, other history or geography books, the Internet (especially the travel sites!), and local governmental agencies (like the Chamber of Commerce). Make sure you include titles, authors and publishers’ names and copyright dates of any written material, and if you use Internet resources, be sure to include their URL (the full internet address). You can also include interviews as long as you give credit to the person you interview. If you use people as a resource, include their names, titles (if they have one), and why you chose them as a resource. (10 points) 4. Presentation. Make sure your project is neat, clean, and free of errors (such as typographical errors and spelling and punctuation errors). It should be organized or laid out in a way that is easy for the reader to follow. Remember that this is an in-depth investigation into the region you live in, so make sure that you write full and complete paragraphs, have a good introduction and conclusion, and that you properly reference all sources of your information.
