AN ANALYSIS OF THE BRAZILIAN SEMINAR THROUGH CARTOGRAPHYTHEMATIC FOR GEOGRAPHY CLASSES IN THE FINAL YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL II

Abstract

The Brazilian Semi-arid is an important region designated by the Northeast Development Superintendency (SUDENE), through the climate and the rainfall. That region, which highlights in global levels, most of the time, is unnoticed in the schooling environment, in important school components, that might contribute for the learning of the diversity of Brazil configuration, such as, General Geography. Therefore, the presented paper has as its main purpose the report of some basic factors analysis on the Brazilian Semi-arid, which, in the current conception, must not lack in the class planners or school curriculum, as well as, there must be studdies on the theme, as the richness in vegetation, the landscapes, hydrography and other important aspects that might enhance the knowledge of that region, as well as of Geography, as an school componente, for the teaching for Elementary School Levels II. In order to obtain better results and understanding in the studies, the Thematic Cartography was used as methodology and tools through the Geoprocessing, by the use of the Ogis Software. Concluding, we may say that the Brazilian Sem-airid is a rich source of knowledge that might not lack in our Society studies.
