A1 Application: Interrelationships between Settlements and the Environment
A1.1 analyse some of the ways in which the physical environment (e.g., climate, landforms, soil type, vegetation, natural resources) has influenced settlement patterns in different countries and/or regions around the world
A1.2 analyse how processes related to the physical environment may affect human settlements in the future
A2 Inquiry: Human Settlements and Sustainability
A2.1 formulate questions to guide investigations into issues related to the interrelationship between human settlement and sustainability from a geographic perspective
A2.3 analyse and construct various print and digital maps as part of their investigations into issues related to the interrelationship between human settlement and sustainability, with a focus on investigating the spatial boundaries of the issue (ArcGIS Online)
A2.4 interpret and analyse data and information relevant to their investigations, using various tools and spatial technologies
A2.6 communicate the results of their inquiries using appropriate vocabulary
A3 Understanding Geographic Context: Settlement Patterns and Trends
A3.1 identify significant spatial patterns in human settlement on a global scale (e.g., linear, scattered, and clustered patterns in populations in different regions; global patterns in population density and/or distribution)

identify the main ideas in information materials and explain how the details that support the main ideas (e.g. when preparing text for selected locations)
select appropriate reading strategies - skim text for specific information; record key points... (e.g. when researching information on specific locations online)
use a variety of strategies to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words (e.g. when following Help Movies for ArcGIS Online)
use the special terminology in a particular area of study... (e.g. when using ArcGIS Online)
