Standard 2, Objective 1 a
Identify the elements of culture (e.g. language, religion, customs, artistic expression, systems of exchange).
I chose this content as i thought it would be interesting to use google earth to give the students the opportunity to explore the different cultures in various ways other then just seeing a picture.
I also chose this content because i like learning new things about different cultures and i feel like every time i create a lesson plan or something about cultures i learn something new. The representation of the subject in Google earth i think can be very useful to students. It helps students visualize the content more and that way it means more to the students and they remember more.
