Teaching Outlines
The chapter discusses how the concept of latitude and longitude is used to 'logically' divide the earth. Each location on the earth can be uniquely located, if we have the latitude and longitude of that place
The implications of these two concepts are very important to understand
Key Idea - Latitude
What are latitudes? Why do we need latitudes? What kind of information can we deduce from latitude information?

Key Idea 2 - International Date Line
Why do we need a International Date Line?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_line#mediaviewer/File:Dateline-animation-3deg-borderonly-180px.gif
Learning objectives
To understand need for an arbitrary 'date line' which begins a 'new day' at a artificial 'longitudinal' line. To understand why this line is not 'straight' but changes in many places
Notes for teachers
This is a very difficult concept to understand and may need a physical simulation with a globe for students to understand.
The idea of time varying across longitudes as well as time zones need to be well understood before coming to date line.
A video explaining the concept of date line
