Human Environment Interaction at Work

The Grade 7 students are exploring urban environments in their first Individuals and Societies’ unit. Why are cities where they are? What do settlements need? And, overall, how do humans interact with their environments?

One of our first big ideas is looking at how humans have modified their environment (M), how humans learn to adapt to their environment (A), and how humans depend on their environment (D). Over the last couple of lessons, students worked in teams to capture photograph examples of M.A.D. at work around Branksome Hall Asia. Together with their team, they explained each in a shared slide presentation.
