Understanding Physical Geography: Exploring Key Features and Their Significance

This lesson focuses on navigating the complexities of physical geography, highlighting key features such as bays, plateaus, archipelagos, and more. Students will engage with an online textbook, responding to questions about their experience and identifying geographical themes. If homework was not completed, students will specify reasons for their inability to participate. The activity encourages critical thinking, prompting learners to analyze various physical features and effectively communicate their findings through structured written responses.
