Using the whole page (pictures and words) Asking: Does this sound right? Does this make sense? Thinking: What has happened in the story so far?

People Live Together
Where People LiveWhen people start a new community, they first choose where to settle.
They may look at the geography of a place. Natural resources can affect where people start a community.
All people need food, water and shelter. A shelter is something that protects or covers. In some places, these things are hard to get. In dry deserts and rocky mountains, it is hard to find water or grow food. People may not choose to live there.
Other places have flat land and rich soil that are good for growing food. They have rivers for water and fish. Areas that have lots of natural resources might grow faster than areas that do not.
How People LiveClimate affects how people live. Climate is the kind of weather a place
has over a long time. Some people live in areas with cold winters. Builders there need to plan schools and other buildings to be warm in winter. Other people live in warm places. Buildings in those places might need to stay cool all year.
Places with cold climates may have indoor areas to play sports in winter. They might also have tunnels and skyways so that people can move
from place to place easily during blizzards. Buildings in places with strong storms must be sturdy enough to keep people safe.
