Geography Reflection

The Five Themes of Geography are: Location – Absolute points on a map or grid or Relative to where something may be; Place – The physical and/or human characteristics of a locations; Human/Environment Interactions – How humans have impacted the landscape or environment; Relationship between places Movement – How humans interact on the earth (i.e. how they communicate over distance (short or long)) and Regions – a unit of space that has commonalities defined by physical, human and environmental geography. The Explorers of the New World may have not known what the Five Themes of Geography were but they quickly learned. Of the five themes the ones that they all took advantage of was the physical Location and Place as they learned to navigate

In this group project, I played the role of information giver as well as the initiator. I completed the task I was assigned to providing the information on my part. Secondly, I initiated in starting the google docs, where the whole group can work together towards submitting the final project. I started with transferring all the rough drafts into one document where the group can together elaborate and edit the project. Lastly, I took the initiative in keeping the group on time for completing the project right on deadline.

I worked cooperatively with Dania Ortiz and Kassandra Concepcion to do my Senior Footprint project. I made a google document and shared it with my group members. In addition to this, I assisted with inputting some of my own pictures into the document. We each cooperated with our ideas, such as coming up with advices and the order in which the advice would go. I sent multiple song ideas to Dania Ortiz that we could utilize for the background music of the iMovie. Furthermore, I took initiative and assigned the days that we would work on the project. Once we were all together, we all took turns in arranging the pictures with the advices. I worked on the project approximately for like an hour each time we worked on the project. Additionally, I

As you are no doubt well aware, this entire project has been a labor of love for Matt and I. As a group we ran into one road block after another. If nothing else, this project has taught me that everything will not go smoothly, no matter how good the intensions and how to persevere in the face of adversity.

Ethan and I did this project on freedom. We had struggles with getting the movie clips to download. This was the biggest problem of this project. My job in this group was to set up the first half of the imovie, putting in quotes, pictures, and movie clips. I think that we should have a few more videos in our project to enhance the viewing process. The quality of our songs were a strength in our movie project. Our group worked well with each other, and Ethan was a good partner to work with. We completed the project in a timely manner; therefore, this gave us more time to work on our essay. We did not have any issues working together.

This project in general was kind of fun. It’s better than some of the past assignments we've had. So it might be interesting if we had future assignments similar to this, because it involves a group & I like group work, because it gets done faster. My group was fair and on task. All of us did what we had to do, because we all care about grade. Since we all care about grade a lot, we completely focused on the assignment. No one was ever off task, and that was good, because we needed to get this assignment done. Another good things is, we never argued. I’m glad this happened, because if it did we would have never finished and that would have been bad. Throughout the whole assignment my group and I had perfect communication skills with one another

The beginning of the assignment started off bad but ended on a positive note. As the deadline drew closer, the group members were forced to find a common ground in regards to the specific time the group discussions would be conducted. To address the lack of communication, Marcelo, one of the group members, laid out the goal we needed to complete. After this was done the project fell into place and was competed on

Overall if I reflect back on our group work I believe we worked very well as a team and my contribution to the group was significantly high because I had an aim in my mind which I focused on until the end. As I worked the extra mile for our project, it resulted that it gave us, as a team, a bit more time in preparation for our presentation and finalizing the app which was crucial at that time for us.

C.A country likely constitutes a formal political region because within its boundaries certain conditions of nationality, law, and political tradition prevail.

Document “A” relates to the prompt because it shows the main physical features of the Roman Empire. This document shows that geography plays a big part in trading, along with, strategizing during battle. The first thing that pops out is The Mediterranean Sea, and how it helped influence the Roman trade and travel. It shows the Sahara Desert and how this helped shield them from many invaders. It also shows the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. These were important trade routes, as well as, easy places to sneak up on other cultures in an attempt to overtake them. The map also displays mountains in the area of Italy that could act as a refuge from other tribes/cultures, if a war broke out.

Working with my group partners, Grant Goodman and Ashley Garcia, was a great experience. Even though Grant knew more about the Valley Scholars Program, since he is a GA there, I feel like we all contributed to the final project. I will say that I feel like Grant and I did most of the

I did try to team up with my friend on this project, hoping to make the task easier. Unfortunately, we were both equally weak-willed. and therefore we only managed to weaken each other’s

In Burgesses model, the central town is surrounded by poor housing. The housing is low quality but there is short commuting time. The further one is away from the central business district, the better quality the housing becomes but the longer commuting time. This transition from low quality housing to longer commuting time occurs in the zone of transition. When people move further away from the center, they can afford both the better housing and the longer commuting. In this model, relative location effected both the housing and transportation

I believe that everyone was satisfied with the project, however I do think there were more effective ways to layout and complete the dictionary. A general feeling that consumed the team was confusion. There were a lot of grey areas that created a cessation in our productivity. As a resolution our group put together a group message that helped us communicate our ideas and stay on track. Our group decided that it was most effective to separate the work into what we all believed was an even workload for everyone.  Monday, the team came together to read, brainstorm and split the work evenly.

To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was
