Maps are powerful tools that to help answer the geographic questions: What is where? Why there? and Why Care?

 Concepts of thinking: Geographic perspective, patterns and trends

Lesson idea: create maps 

a) do some research on some of the statistics in the article and create thematic maps showing: highest rates of infant mortality, unemployment, of imprisonment,  poverty, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, mental health issues, HIV/Aids in the United States. 

b) gather information on other type of situations and create a spatial journal to see what patterns may appear.
