Students revisit their evidence logs and sort map, satellite image, and photo details into pattern categories such as access, land use, water routes, cultural sites, housing, farms, forests, or shorelines. The teacher models how to turn observations into a claim-evidence-reasoning paragraph that links physical features to daily life and identity. Students draft one written explanation in their investigation notebook and flag one anomaly or conflicting detail that complicates their interpretation.
