50 total points
The Control of Nature by John McPhee discusses 3 detailed case studies of humans battling against nature. Your task for this project is to discuss how each of these case studies relate to specific terms/definitions and concepts that you’ve learned about in the Physical Geography class this semester. Read the instructions and guidelines for each part of the assignment carefully:
Part 1: Atchafalaya(10 points)
This section of John McPhee’s book best relates to the chapter on River Systems and Landforms. Review the main textbook chapter on the topic of River Systems and Landscapes as well as the Powerpoint presentation. Also feel free to review your question assignment on this part of the book. Select 3 terms/definitions or concepts from the chapter or Powerpoint and write a paragraph about how this section of the book relates to those 3 terms. Before each paragraph, type a direct quote from the John McPhee book that relates to one of the terms you’re writing about (include the page number after the quote). Your paragraph should be at least 200 words (the quotation doesn’t count toward the word count).
Part 2: Cooling the Lava (10 points)
This section of John McPhee’s book best relates to the main textbook chapters on The Dynamic Planet and Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanism. Review the main textbook chapters on these topics as well as the Powerpoint presentations. Also feel free to review your question assignment on this part of the book. Select 3 terms/definitions or concepts from the chapter or Powerpoint and write a paragraph about how this section of the book relates to those 3 terms. Be as specific as possible when selecting terms/definitions. Before each paragraph, type a direct quote from the John McPhee book that relates to one of the terms you’re writing about (include the page number after the quote). Your paragraph should be at least 200 words (the quotation doesn’t count toward the word count).
Part 3: Los Angeles Against the Mountains (10 points)
This section of the book best relates to the chapters on Weathering, Karst Landscapes, and Mass Movement and Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanism. Review the main textbook chapters on these topics as well as the Powerpoint presentations. Also feel free to review your question assignment on this part of the book. Select 3 terms/definitions or concepts from the chapter or Powerpoint and write a paragraph about how this section of the book relates to those 3 terms. Be as specific as possible when selecting terms/definitions. If you used a term for another part of the paper, you cannot use it again. Before each paragraph, type a direct quotation from the John McPhee book that relates to one of the terms and you’re writing about (include the page number after the quote). Your paragraph should be at least 200 words (the quotation doesn’t count toward the word count).
Google map (15 points)
You will be making a Google map to supplement your paper. See this video link for instructions on how to do that: https://vimeo.com/156749710
Here is the direct link to My Maps mentioned in the video. If it doesn’t work, just do a Google search for My Maps. https://www.google.com/maps/d/?hl=en_US&app=mp
Once you’re finished with your map, click the share button, change the privacy settings to ‘anyone with the link,’ and copy & paste your link in your paper. Your map link should be placed after your 3 paragraphs but before the reference page.
Reference page (5 points)
All the sources and references you use must be included on a reference page at the end of your paper. I don’t care about the formatting style that you use (APA, MLA, etc.). You can simply type the names of the textbook chapters you use and copy & paste the web sites. Remember all information in the paragraphs must be typed in your own words.
