Thinking Geographically: Answer questions 1 and 4 on page 324 and questions 2 and 3 on page 394 of the text. There is no requirement as to the length of the response. Be as complete as possible when answering these questions. Use examples and support in order to provide a complete response. Your ability to answer these questions often requires knowledge not specifically mentioned in the textbook, but will draw on the entire body of knowledge locked away in your brain. This will help you prepare for the APHG Exam, especially on the free response questions.
