Geographic Crossroads Answer Key

Students read a scenario about a community in the Amazon Basin considering the construction of a new road. They then answer critical-thinking questions that require evaluating benefits, environmental impacts, cultural considerations, and possible compromises. The worksheet engages learners in real-world decision making and encourages evidence-based reasoning. Students reflect on environmental stewardship, economic needs, and community values. This activity builds analysis, problem-solving, and the ability to justify a position in writing.
