Question:
Is there a standard you use, such as the US Park services symbols? Others? Aren’t there so many possible different symbols? Or is there a standard?

I am editing material that is from UK- needs to be made into US… so what would be a map symbol standard system I could refer them to?

Question:
Is it:
because of the expanding population of a city in the poorer parts of the world entice more people to go there to try and achieve a better life, but people simply cant afford it and have to live in slums, the media rarely show the life of average city people living in slums, so people continue to go there in search of a better life, not knowing what awaits for them when they arrive.

I cant concentrate tonight >< is that enough for a A level answer?
Can you think of any other information i should include?
Teaches me to try and do work at twenty to eleven at night

Question:
I didn’t. I had to teach it to myself as an adult.
Did you? Why do you think that is?

I’m sure everyone has seen the youtube clip of ms. north carolina when asked why she thinks a fifth of the american general public can’t find their own country on a map.

This is actually a very serious issue and the implications can go very deep.
Just what ARE they teaching in public schools and where does it come from?
Why are america’s education standards so low, we rank 56th?
Are they purposely dumbing the public down?
IS it a no brainer to ask why?

Mormons: What do you think of the “Limited Geography Theory”?

Question:
For those who don’t know, the limited geography theory (LGT) is the notion that, instead of the events in the Book of Mormon happening all over the North and South American continents, they only happened in a small 500-mile area within Central America. This is a fairly common theory among Mormon anthropologists today (like John Sorenson) due to the evidence that suggests the events in the Book of Mormon couldn’t have happened “all over” both continents as the early LDS leaders taught (like Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Orson Pratt, etc).

So, I’m just curious: what do you think of it? Does this theory hold any water?

Question:
I have a presentation to do for AP English Lit in which I have to “teach” about one of the chapters of a book called “How to Read Literature Like a Professor”.

I’ve already read the book and such, but now as I’m putting together my presentation I realize that I don’t really know of any examples not mentioned in the book. ((I’m trying to think of one, but I’m drawing a blank))

Anything that mentions either of these two things below would be fantastic, but if you can just name work where geography plays an influence on the plot/tone, it would still be appreciated.

Example:
Low places: swamps, crowds, fog, darkness, fields, heat, etc. Such portrays unpleasantness, people, life, death.

High places: snow, ice, etc. Portrays purity, thin air, clear views, isolation, life, death.

I have a low performing child in my 5th grade geography class.?

Question:
Doe anyone know of a resource I could use to teach her. I’ve tried coloring sheets and such, but I don’t think she’s learning anything. She performs at the 1st grade level.
