How do you use geography? First, think about where you live. What regions would
you create based on your own location? In a paragraph, name at least three regions
that would include your town and identify the characteristics those regions share.
Next, consider why someone who is not a geographer would still use the tools of
geography. In a second paragraph, describe how people who aren't geographers still
use geography in their daily lives.

Read the assignment carefully and make sure you answer each part of the
question or questions.

After you've written your response, go back and read it again to make sure your
thoughts are clear.
