Step 1: Reading questions to get started
Imagine for a minute that you are a newspaper reporter. An important discovery of a lost land has been made, and you have the chance to be the first person to interview the returning explorers. Make a list of the questions that you might ask. Remember, the five themes and ask the most important questions from each.
Here are some questions to get you started:
1.Where is it?
2.Where exactly is that?
3.What does it look like?
4.How many people live there and where?
5.What settlements (cities, villages) does it have?
6.What sort of climate does it have?
7.Does it have any extremes of weather?
8.Is it prone to any type of natural disaster?
9.What are the natural resources and how are they used?
10.What type of agriculture is there?
11.What are the main types of transportation and munication?
12.What makes the people there different to people in other places?
13.What sort of government does it have?
14.Is it associated with any other place?
That is just the short list. It will give some basic facts about the place. Each of the topics can be expanded on to give a much more detailed description.
