Beyond Reading the Definition From a Slide: Teaching Sense of Place and Place Making

November 8, 2022 @ 7:00 pm EST - 7:45 pm EST

 

Geographer Yi-Fu Tuan’s work focused on the human aspects of human geography. He wrote about the spatial concepts of space and place in his landmark work Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience. Learn how to guide your students in using your school as a field study to understand and evaluate a sense of place and place-making. Students will build upon their field study with a guided visual discovery activity that helps them understand how regional patterns of religion, ethnicity, and language contribute to creating a sense of place.
