Unit 10: East Asia

Learning Intention for the Unit: 

East Asia is a region with much diversity amongst the land and the people. Just as the topography changes as one moves from the west to the east (as the rivers run), the population density grows as well. Through the use of geographical thinking skills, inquiry, and collaboration, students will learn about the physical and cultural regional conditions that create unique landscapes, an understanding of which lays the foundation for learning about connections to other peoples and places on Earth. Students will use applied geography skills to analyze and develop ways cities can be better prepared for natural disasters.
