Grade 2 Social Studies · World 2: Georgia's Regions · Level 15
Comparing Regions
Compare regions and how the land shapes how people live.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 15
- Each region's land changes how people live. In the Blue Ridge, people hike, camp, and grow apples on mountain farms.
- In the Piedmont, rolling hills and rivers helped big cities grow, like Atlanta, Athens, and Macon.
- On the flat Coastal Plain, farmers plant big fields of peanuts and cotton. On the coast, people fish and ships come and go.
- Try it with a grown-up! Compare your region to another one. How is the land different? What do people do there?
