Initial Thoughts
Before I began studying Paris, I knew it was located in France, which is located in Europe. One of the famous landmarks located in Paris is the Eiffel Tower. From looking at a map, I know that Paris is bordered by Italy, and Germany, as well as Spain, and sits on the water, the North Atlantic Ocean. ( shown in the map above) My guess is that France is a big city as well as rural farmlands, and the land is different in different places of France.
The exact and relative location of Paris
Revised Thinking: After researching Paris's location, I now know where Paris is located, it's relative and exact location, and more specifically, I know Paris is located in Europe. One thing I learned is that Paris is located on the Mediterranean Sea. When I first decided to study Paris, I pictured it more as a rural area, rather then a bigger city. The statistics helped me understand how technically advanced Paris was compared to Seattle, and when looking at the statistics I realized that Seattle is much more advanced in Technology, but Paris is more than the quiet city I pictured it as.
