specific.
Information IPR grades - due this weekend - that went quickly…
Do Nows are due today
Tutoring forms - before, lunch, after school tutoring options - incentive for attending
Current Events

Do Now
Tell me what you have learned
about Europe so far? Be specific.
Europe: Peninsula of Peninsulas Peninsula
- areas of land surrounded on three sides by water- continent has multiple peninsulas
All areas near a waterway or within 300miles of the ocean- How would this affect development of the continent?
Major PeninsulasIn the North…Scandinavian Peninsula
- Norway, Sweden Jutland Peninsula
- Denmark, part of Germany
Major PeninsulasIn the South…Iberian Peninsula
- Portugal, Spain- Pyrenees block off peninsula
Italian Peninsula- Italy- 4700 miles of coastline
Balkan Peninsula- Greece, Macedonia, Albania
TPS:In what way or ways would the
physical features of Europe lead to development or how would this
prevent development and exploration?
Islands Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland
- all located in the North Atlantic
Sicily, Corsica, Crete, Sardinia- all located in the Mediterranean Region
The Problems with Mountains… What are the problems associated with
mountains?- Think: MIRPL
European Mountain Chains The Pyrenees
- cut off Spain and Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula- allow for regional development
The Apennines- the “spine” of Italy- divide Italy east-west
Mountains and Uplands- a difference in elevation Uplands
- area with hills or low mountains, mesas and high plateaus- many areas are eroded mountains
Kjolen Mountains (Scandinavia), Scottish Highlands, low area of Brittany in France
Germany’s Central Uplands, at the base of the Alps
The Brittany Region - France Part of the Masiff Central
- upland region of France
Brittany is defined as a region – Explain what makes it a region…. MIRPL
Europe: A Network of RiversRivers move ideas,
culture, people, goods, and connect regions
The Danube and Rhine Rivers- major rivers of Europe
Many navigable rivers- flow from interior to the sea- large enough for ships
Major RiversDanube Rhine
Flows through center of Europe
From east to west flows through 9
countries links Europeans to the
Black Sea1,771 miles of river
Flows from interior of Europe to the North Sea
820 miles flows through 6
countries important for defensive
history
T-P-SReview the map on pp. 275 and analyze the
rivers of Europe. Discuss the following question at your table:
How does the direction in which European rivers flow aid in linking Europeans to
the world?
Northern European Plain Fertile agricultural area of Europe
- produced food for centuries- France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and Poland
Subject to invasion throughout history- flat land allows for easy travel for armies
One third of Europe (33%) is suitable for farming.
Resources of Europe Read pp 276-277 (identify main ideas)
TOTD
How is Europe unique in terms of
physical land features? Explain.
