In both Social Studies and ELA we have been talking about ways humans are affected by the world's geography and natural environment as well as how we as humans affect the world's geography and the natural environment. Today we will take a look at an issue that is relatively close to us - the use of luxury cruiseliners through previously uncharted waters in the Northwest Passage.
We'll start by watching a few videos to get us thinking.
Next, we'll read to learn more specific details.
Finally we will discuss and answer some questions together to make further connections to our learning about the people and places of the world.
Let's get started!
