AThe pictures are soooo much better than having the kids read or listen to me lecture.
A picture is worth a thousand words...what a wonderful class opener for disparity, effects of urban expansion, child poverty...the list is endless UNFORTUNATELY!
A striking look at where children from nine countries sleep at night.

This lesson plan was specifically designed with Arizona examples and aligned to the Arizona state standards, but it be easily adapted. I saw a presentation based on this lesson at the NCGE conference as was incredibly impressed. Also, you'll note that like this one, there are many other lesson plans freely available on the Arizona Geographic Alliance website.

Little tid-bit of information for kids ....something quick to have on the smart board as they come in and read it...how Geography can affect something like YOUR BIRTHDAY!
"The story behind the the International Date Line."
Not too long ago (Jan. 2012), the arbitrary International Date Line (roughly opposite the Prime Meridian) was moved to better accommodate the regional networks and economic geography of the area straddling the line. American Samoa, although politically aligned with the United States, was functionally more integrated on the Asian side of the Pacific Rim when it came to their trade partners and their tourism base. Dynamic economic networks, political allegiances and cultural commonalities create a beautifully complex situation near this 'border.' Via Seth Dixon

This article details the complex matter of the international date line, and the positioning of American Samoa. The moving of the IDL has an impact on the nation, placing it within the timezone of the east or west, and by doing so, aligning the nation with that region. This is the second time the IDL has been moved, resulting in lost time for the nation.
