The Six Geographic Regions of Mexico

In Theme Studies, we are learning all about Mexico.  For the last two weeks, students have been learning about the six geographic regions that make up the country.  Together we've read from a couple of books to give us an overview on the land and vegetation in Mexico.  We then got together in small groups to learn about one region in more detail.  

There are six regions:
1)The Central Plateau
2)The Central Highlands
3)The Northwest Deserts
4)Yucatan Penninsula
5)The Mountainous South
6)The Tropical Lowlands

Each group got information on the region that they chose and using this information built a relief.  They then did a brief presentation on their region to explain to the whole class what their region was and some of the things they included.  After each group got a chance to present, we then put the regions together.  We knew that together they formed the entire country, but other than that, it was just like a big puzzle.  Finally, we figured it out!


Here are the different groups with their regions.








Here we are doing our presentations.
