Objective:  Evaluate the geography of South Asia.   Analyze the relationship between population density and arable land.

Task:   Welcome back!  I hope you all had a relaxing, enjoyable holiday break.  Now we need to get back to business!  Today, we'll focus on the geography of South Asia.  To start, you'll investigate monsoons, tectonic plates, and population characteristics of South Asia.  After we review the worksheets, we'll spend some class time labeling and coloring the South Asia map.  Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class with a demonstration on arable land and population density.  If there is any time remaining in class, you may work on your reading notes or the vocabulary sheet for tomorrow.
