Mar 8: Industry location- where & why --and why it keeps shifting (site & situation factors)

We will take a look at some of the key vocabulary and concepts & connect this back to why we see the types of industries and services in the locations we find them around the world. 

We will look closely at the steel industry and auto industry as a case study for this.

Helpful resources for today's class:

• Unit 6, Part 2: Industry - Lecture Presentation (Google Slides)
• Article: "Trump tariffs latest: US President threatens tax on cars imported from EU in angry tweet" (Independent.co.uk)
• Article: "U.S. Steel to reopen dormant Illinois plant, credits proposed Trump tariffs" (USA Today)

Note on limited coverage of "Services" in Unit 6: Some of this we will go into more in-depth detail when we get to Unit 7: Urban Planning. We will just briefly touch on some of the vocabulary and models in the Services chapter for Unit 6 (as it applies to Economic Development and Industry) since it will be covered thoroughly in Unit 7. Much of the vocabulary and models for "Services" applies more to Unit 7: Urban Planning as we study the City Business District, Urbanization, Suburbanization, etc.

HW: Prep for Practice "Outsourcing" FRQ;

There was an "Outsourcing to India - Case Study" Google Doc dropped in your APHG Drop folder. There are a few short videos to watch and pick one of the articles linked to read/skim through.  This assignment will take approx.  45min. - 1 hour (depending on how detailed of notes/responses you record). While this is in preparation for a practice FRQ --(no, not graded), this topic may be one of the SUMMATIVE FRQ topics your class will receive. You've been warned...
You also have a formative vocab quiz next class. If you've done the chapter readings and you study through the flashcard sets, you should be fine! Its just vocab.
