EQ:

How do Geographers analyze relationships

among & between places to reveal important spatial

patterns?

Step 1: Look in

Site and Situation Notes

and explain

the 4 Scales of Analysis in order from Large Scale

→

Small Scale. Provide/List examples for each.

Step 2: Together read and discuss the

Maps of the 2016 US presidential election results.

What is unique? What questions do

you have? How does each map share different story?

Step 3: Explain how patterns and processes at

different scales reveal variations in, and different

interpretations of, data.
