Mapping Latin America has been designed to serve three purposes. First, the unit acts as an introduction to, or review of, fundamental geographical concepts and vocabulary. Second, it teaches students about the basic physical and political geography of Latin America. Third, students will learn to examine maps with a critical eye towards political and technical limitations. Students are future world citizens who need geography skills taught within the context of international education. These lessons are intended to introduce the basic geography competencies which can then be applied to any world region.

Mapping Latin America contains seven lessons. These could effectively be taught sequentially in two weeks (50-minute periods), or each self-contained lesson could be taught independently. Although some lessons depend on knowledge from prior lessons in order for students to be able to accomplish the tasks involved, many lessons could be interchanged. For example, if students have questions about latitude and longitude after Lesson One, then Lesson Four could be taught immediately after Lesson One. Teacher discretion is advised. This unit will not require you to spend extra time for research or for collecting additional materials. Everything you need is right here.

Mapping Latin America begins with a review of basic world geography (Lesson One). Two "Map Hunt" activities follow, that actively engage students in a search for the countries and main physiographic features of Latin America (Lessons Two and Three). Students label maps with this information. Next, students learn or review the use of latitude and longitude by searching for major Latin American cities (Lesson Four). The following lesson introduces students to the complex nature of Latin American climate (Lesson Five), and later students learn to examine the limitations of making flat representations of the world (Lesson Six). Finally, students engage in a geographic pursuit in which they also review previously taught material (Lesson Seven).

While Mapping Latin America teaches many important skills and ideas, the unit is not exhaustive. Not addressed in this unit are the simple but important devices of "scale" and "legend" paramount for a good understanding of geography. In addition, many instructive maps such as linguistic and historical representations, among others, are missing from this unit. For this reason, included at the end of this unit is an annotated bibliography of resources on Latin American geography. This list includes both reference and classroom materials as well as ideas for possible lessons.

Durable and Rugged
Color: Black
I've had it for a few weeks now. It was a replacement I bought after buying several vinyl type covers. This one is a good gauge of plastic and rubber. The rubber seems pretty strong and it protects the iPad well on the corners and back. The back is mostly covered except for the Apple logo in the center. In addition to protecting the corners and also protects the camera lens as the rubber after insulation is a little bit higher than the lens so when you put this down, it's not going to scratch the lens. It has a pen slot, which I like and plenty of room to grip the device if I'm carrying it from place a place or when I'm using it, I can grip the edge and not touch the screen. One of the things I would've liked included is a screen protector, but nothing covers the screen. I also miss the folio type cover because the screen will gather dust now. But, Apple screens are fairly durable so I'm not too worried about breaking it. It was easy to install. It came in as it came in a couple of pieces that you just pressed together. All the controls are obvious as they are under the rubber, but they look like keys. One more thing I might bring up is the charging port. It's easy to get to even though it's a little deep. On my iPad the touch sensor is on the on off button and it is a little harder to do than if I didn't have any case on it, but that is to be expected. It also has an easel that unfolds from the back if you want to sit it up, but I don't use it for watching anything since I have a real TV set. So far I like it and I'm glad I bought this as I don't think it's going to wear out as quickly from me handling it as the others did. The value was good as long as it lasts.

Not broken yet.
Color: Light Purple
I bought this for my daughter’s tablet and she has put it through the test. It has been dropped multiple times and the tablets still good. It was easy to put on, looks good, and does the job.
