Geography Awareness Week- Homework


The 3rd week of November is Geography Awareness Week, which was established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan. The goal of this week is to promote geographic education in schools. So it's very fitting that we are starting our Geography unit this week!

Where in the world would you most like to visit and/or live? Explain why you would like to visit or live in this place, how far away it is from where you live, and how you would get to this place.

*Remember, you must use at least 5 complete sentences with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation!

I want to live in Seattle, Washington. I want to live here because there are a lot of sites and landmarks here like the largest car museum in North America. The people who live in Washington are all really kind to each other. Most of my relatives live in Seattle. There are a lot of things in Washington that I haven't seen yet. Washington is were I was born and I want to stay here for my whole life.

I would like to live in Europe specifically Great Britain even more specifically England even more specifically,London. I would like to live there because all of my family is from there and I have always admired their ways. I also love the accent I have one, but I don't use it . their are so many things that I have dreamed to see there. Ever since I was 7 almost all the movies a watched and a lot of books I read were based on Europe. One of the things I have dreamed about seeing there ever since I was 7 was and still is Big Ben. Another one of the main reasons I would like to go there is soccer. All of my favorite tea ms are there my favorite of all time is Manchester United. And I just love English soccer. It is my dream to be a professional soccer player in England. If I could choose any place in the world that I would like to visit or live there it would be Great Britain.

I want to live in Hawaii because first of all, I’ve never been there before. Second of all, it’s really pretty there. Third of all, it’s SUPER pretty over there. I would probably take an airplane or else it might take months, years or days, especially if I’m going to run.its about 4,796.2 miles. That is a long way to go, but I still want to go there. That’s why I want to go to Hawaii.

I would like to live in Arizona. More precisely Phoenix. My dad has been to phoenix and he says it is pretty cool. Arizona is an area of dry plains more than 4,000 ft 1,220miles high,with the Grand Canyon.I have been to the Grand Canyon but I would like to visit it again. If I were to choose the transportation to get there I would choose by plane because it would be the fastest.I would like to live in Arizona, but I like it here too!

I would like to live in San Francisco, California. I want to live near Fishermans Wharf because there is this restaurant called Cioppino's there. I had an amazing meal there this summer. Sadly, I only got to eat there once and one kind of their food was ravioli that made the it taste amazing!!!!!!! I want to try all of Cioppino's food. It would take me 14 hours and 6 minutes to go 813 miles before I would reach Cioppino's. I would travel in a car because I might live there and travel around.

I would like to live in Italy because there is good food and it is very pretty. I have never been there but it sounds like a lot of people liked it. I would eat pizza and pasta with parmesan cheese. It would be very close to France so I could visit my family often. The fastest way to get there is traveling by jet plane. I would take lessons to know how to speak Italian.

I want to go to Santa Monica because close by there is Lego land, Sea world, Disneyland, and piers, so its lots of fun. Its also relaxing with the sun and the sea. Kids can play and the adults can realax. My cousins live there so we can play with them on the beach together and go to the piers. From Bellevue to Santa Monica, it is 1,138 miles.

Aidan said...

In addition to my previous post, I will fly to Santa monica.

I wouldn't like to live anywhere else but here because I love my friends and a lot of my family lives around here like my grandma. I'm close to the mountains and water and there is a lot of outdoor activities like my favorite sport is soccer and it takes little time to get to my home field and i love hiking with my family and it's a great view when you get to the top of the mountain on pupu point and I love to see the skydivers jump off the mountain. That's why i love washington and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

I would want to live in South Africa because I lived there for 2 years and it's super fun. You can go to a beach where you can swim with African penguins! Except it's really far away. You have to take a 9 hour flight to London and then a 12 hour flight to Africa.
