The Geography of the Renaissance

For the next few days we will study the geography of the Renaissance. In preparation for this investigation it is necessary for us to review the five themes of geography as written in 1984 by the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the National Council for Geographic Education (NCGE) and the Association of American Geographers (AAG).

They are: location, place, human/environment interaction, movement, and regions.

Here is a website that describes each of the five themes quite well.

Be prepared to discuss theses themes tomorrow.
