My name is Jesika Aghajanian and I pinned the following locations:

Armenia, Greece, Italy

 I am an Armenian who was born and raised in Iran. I moved to the United States in 2008. I currently teach high school within LAUSD. 

Three words that come to mind are: Architecture, Mountains, Wars. 

Geography involves the study of human activities and their impact on the environment. Architecture, as a human activity, is deeply connected to geography. Urban geography, for example, explores the spatial organization of cities, including architectural styles, city planning, and the cultural significance of built environments. The architecture of a region often reflects its history, culture, and socioeconomic conditions. Geography includes the study of physical features on the Earth's surface, such as mountains, rivers, and landforms. Mountains are prominent physical features that influence climate, ecosystems, and human activities. Physical geography examines the formation, distribution, and significance of mountain ranges. Additionally, mountains play a crucial role in shaping regional geography, affecting factors like agriculture, transportation, and settlement patterns. Geography plays a crucial role in understanding geopolitical dynamics and the historical context of conflicts and wars. The physical geography of a region can impact military strategies, resource distribution, and territorial disputes. Geopolitical considerations, such as the strategic importance of certain locations or natural resources, often influence the occurrence and outcomes of wars. Historical geography explores how past events, including wars, have shaped the geographic features and boundaries of regions.

@john-barksdale Hi John. Accounts and passwords were sent out this evening, however, for this activity you do not need an ArcGIS account.

Jesika - Your three word choices seem particularly powerful at this point in time. Geography is playing such a huge role in current events right now. I hope our students can begin to see how important it is to their understanding of history.
