What are the five themes of geography and how do they help you understand a “place”? I NEED IT NOW

. The five themes of geography are location, place, human-environment interaction, movement, and region.

These themes were developed in 1984 by the National Council for Geographic Education and the Association of American Geographers to organize and facilitate the instruction of geography in K-12. While they have been replaced by the National Geography Standards, I still think they provide an excellent way to promote the teaching of geography. If I were still teaching social studies, I would use both. Since come of you may not be familiar with the five themes of geography, let’s discuss them.
