 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit, students will understand the differences between physical and political geography, as well as the implications of these two types of geography. This understanding will be applied to concepts of unity and diversity on many different levels: globally, nationally, regionally, and regarding Maine. Students will adapt and interpret aspects of unity and diversity with specific situations. "Real world" connections will be made, and students will reflect on and consider how geography affects their culture and way of life. This links abstract, conceptual thinking with concrete examples that illustrate the importance of geography. To accomplish this, students will explore and learn about the aforementioned concepts and points of understanding. Assuming the role of a researcher, the students will collect, demonstrate, and share information via Type II technology. The role assumed by the students in their task will enable them to relate to the material, especially in their assumed-role interaction at the culmination of the project.
