SUMMARY:The Case for Case Studies: Using Truffle Farming to Promote Inquiry and Mapping Skills
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGeography is inherently a visual social studies that requires students to practice a new literacy and observation skill set with maps\, charts\, visuals and data sets. Case studies can be extremely useful in the classroom to bridge critical thinking and problem solving with mapping and modeling skills progressions. Students move from identifying and describing data points on maps to interpreting distribution patterns and constructing maps through the inquiry process. Participants of this session will engage with materials regarding the implementation of case studies in the geography classroom. Participants will take a deep dive into the conditions required for truffle farming and use various maps to identify optimal locations for existing and potential truffle farms. This particular case study looks at the impacts of human-environment interaction and the use of maps and models to interpret and predict agricultural development and land use patterns through map construction. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School |Mapping | Inquiry |  Application \nConference Room\nDolores \nMeet the Presenter\nBethany Sanders is a Secondary social studies teacher at Dutch Fork High School in Irmo\, SC.
