The statements mix land and climate, such as hot desert and freezing winters, with how people live, from irrigation and air conditioning to thick coats and heaters. Three statements belong in each part of the diagram. It links to C3 Framework D2.Geo.4.3-5, and the answer key lists all three groups.

How teachers use it

After the reading passage

It uses the same two regions as the Surviving and Thriving reading, so run it the day after as a check on what students kept.

Statement E debate

"People build strong houses to protect against extreme weather" belongs in Both, yet students tend to claim it for one region. Ask each side to name the weather it protects against.

Add a letter

Early finishers write a statement J for each section of the diagram and test it on a partner.
