Divide students into five teams. Assign each team a different geographic theme. Ask each team to find pictures from all over the world that illustrate assigned theme. Then, they will cut and paste their samples to construction paper. Students may draw examples if they cannot find photos.
Teams share their findings with the class.
Second Day Finding five geographical themes in the modern Caribbean. Try to regroup them so that all five themes are represented by a member from each of the first day's theme teams. With their specific theme in mind, have students locate evidence of the theme, perhaps by making notes about it in their learning logs. The regrouped teams exchange their information. Each theme team uses their combined notes and resources to create an Acrostic poem about the modern Caribbean.
