Give students time to read through the choices and the list of factors that could be responsible for the change. Encourage them to discuss their ideas before writing. Circulate to offer assistance or keep students on task. Invite several students to share their short stories with the class. After several examples have been given, ask students to write down the geographic factors that were used in the stories to explain why the place or region changed.
Geographic factors help explain why change occurred.
Changes can be for the better or for the worse. If you understand the reasons why regions change, you can see change coming and prepare for the positive change instead of the negative. Write a paragraph to explain why regions change. We appreciate your comments. From This to That Read through the list and select one situation.
