1. Present a series of slides, pictures or maps that would

show change over time in a landscape, and have the

student’s chart the changes.

2. Make a large drawing of a “rural” landscape on a

piece of butcher paper. Invite students to come

forward and draw a change in the landscape. Allow

other students to interview the “Change Artists”, to

allow the students to see how this information can be

obtained. Students should then fill in multiple

consequences on the HEI Chart they would make to

reflect the changes the “Artists” depicted on the

butcherpaper.

Extensions

Give students a blank HEI Chart to take home with them as a homework

assignment. Ask them to observe 2 changes (or several-depending on the

students level, time, etc:) that they identify in their local landscape, list

possible and/or probable causes for the change and multiple consequences

that have or may occur due to the change. Return the chart next class

period, and share their “geographic survey” with a partner or the class.

Do a “BEFORE and AFTER” drawing. They can illustrate the landscape

before the change on the back of the HEI Chart by dividing the sheet in half

either the “Hotdog” or “Hamburger” way, and label ½ “BEFORE” – drawing

and coloring the landscape before people made changes. The second ½ is

labeled “AFTER” – and depicts the same landscape after the changes

occurred.
