Today in class we learned more vocabulary for the unit. The words we learned today were the types of regions and landscapes. Some examples are cultural landscape, and formal region also known as a uniform region or homogeneous region. The definition of  cultural landscape is a combination of cultural features such as language and religion, economic features such as agriculture and industry, and and physical features such as climate and vegetation. The definition of formal landscape is an area within which everyone shares in common one or more distinctive characteristics. When we talked about formal regions, we did an activity showing an example of one, which by the way is a perfect example. The maps of the U.S. that show the states voting in each region for democrat and republican parties. This was a great way to explain this because if gives you a variety of regions that all have the same thing in common, and that is exactly what a formal region is. Looking forward to more discussion.
