Here are the teacher pack items for Central America and the Caribbean: Geographic Passport:
In this experience, students are introduced to the physical geography of Central America and the Caribbean. They label several maps with countries and features of the region. Then they research individual countries and report back on significant geographic features. Finally, they make a prediction about the connection between the geography and economy of this part of the world. Central American countries include: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. For a full list of the Caribbean Islands, see Caribbean Islands. Objectives:Overview
If you live anywhere in the eastern half of the United States and you just start heading south, you will eventually run into the region of Central America. And if you travel straight south from the state of Florida, you will quickly hit the Caribbean Islands. These places aren’t very far away from American soil! Let’s learn about their geography in this experience.
Objectives:
To begin, let’s see which countries you already recognize in Central America.
Look at the blank map of Central America. Label any of the seven countries that you know: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama.
In the table, write a fact you already know about Central America. Then write something you would like to know.
When everyone is ready to continue, unlock the next scene.
