Comic Life

This is my comic I made in the app Comic Life. I had to make a comic that’s only 1 page long and have 10 words describing each of the 5 themes of Geography. Under the definition I included a photo that helps describe it on the next page in the book will be better definitions and describing the photos. These 5 comic boxes will also describe what the definition of Geography is. The 5 themes of geography is the definition of Geography.

Movement- Movement is the movement of products and people on say Planes, Trains, or Cars/Trucks it can also be people moving or texting. It can also be the movement of ideas meaning like a Paper Boy handing out Newspapers. I chose this picture because Silas was walking representing movement of People.

Location- Absolute and relative absolute is your exact location like your Latitude and Longitude. Relative location is like for example I’m at Seycove or I’m 3 Kilometres away from my house which is in this picture representing absolute location with the Longitude and Latitude.

Human environment interaction- Climate and resources. For climate its how we change the atmosphere and ruin it. Putting the Gondola in effected terrain and Animal habitat by ruining the slope and by taking out trees. For resources its using the Trees that were taken down for the Hiking Path and the Gondola to build the building at the top or just putting it to waste.

Place- Cultural and physical. For physical its what was made by the landscape and by Earth. Cultural means what Man Kind made. I chose this photo because our culture and Man Kind made the train track in this photo.

Regions- Formal and functional this means like made up City’s like Deep Cove or real/functional City’s like North Vancouver. This photo is a picture of Banff which is a functional city.

Driving Question

In my opinion I think what made the West is tourism. I think this because tourism offered so many jobs and lots of money to local companies when tourists come. This shapes our economy making certain City’s around tourism like Banff or Whistler both major tourists destinations from Skiing and Mountain Biking. We also made stuff in the West to make tourism happen for example the Trains that we built. But I think the most drawing activity is sight seeing so the Geography brings tourists. It connects with me because on this trip I realized how much money tourists pay and how many there are I’ve also been a tourist so I know why they come to the West. Different tourists that come to the west also brought ideas shaping the culture of the West. That’s why tourists and settlers shaped my Worldview.

The Last Spike

Photo 1: The Last Spike

Remember: you want your photo to not just represent what made and makes the West, but also you will need to explain how it shows one or more of the Five Themes of Geography.

For now, you can put multiple photos on the page, then you will be able to edit and choose from them later.

Reflection

The Last Spike is the place where we nailed in the last spike on the railroad of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Last Spike represents location for where the last spike was hammered, human interaction for wrecking the animals habitat, and movement for moving products people and ideas in the trains.

This shaped the west with nature by wrecking other animals homes for our movement, economic change for getting money from tourism and getting jobs for other people this also shows movement with moving people, products, and ideas.

My connection the the trains in this photo is the fact that I’ve taken trains to travel making memories and that’s why I bought my train souvenir. This also connects to me because all the products that I buy likely are on a train that uses the CPR. This helps me answer the driving question because the Trains of the CPR brought people to different cities for tourism to provide for our economy.

The last spike was driven into the railway by Donald Smith on November 7 in 1885. The driving of this spike honoured the agreement that Canada made with British Columbia. The agreement was to have BC part of Canada instead of the USA. BC’s request was to have a railway to connect BC to the east coast of Canada.
