Dominican Republic Geography DOMINICAN REPUBLIC GEOGRAPHY The geography of the country is greatly diverse, ranging from arid semi-desert plains to luxuriant valleys of tropical rain forests, which results in a wide variety of vegetation. Most of the tourists who come to visit are initially attracted to its magnificent golden sandy beaches that extend over one-third of its 870-mile coastal regions that define three-quarters of its borders. This is particularly true of the northern Atlantic side of the country. It is thus in this region that the majority of tourist attractions, hotels and resorts are concentrated, particularly in the 40-mile zone between Puerto Plata and Cabarete. The Dominican Republic, with an area of 48,482 square kilometres, occupies the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with its neighbor, Haiti, to the west. Cuba is the only larger country within the Caribbean and the greater Antilles region. Hispaniola is strategically located directly in the heart of the region. The Windward Passage separates western Hispaniola from Cuba. To the east of the D.R., across the Mona Passage, lies Puerto Rico only 54 miles away.

Insights from the Field Geography: It's More than Just a Place Lesson Title Description/ Objectives Introduction The Unit at a Glance This geography unit is standards-based and divided into four separate modules. All modules revisit, from a different vantage point, the major theme of "where we live influences how we live." Module One Where We Live Influences How We Live By focusing on life in the United States as compared with life in the Dominican Republic, students will begin to explore the essential question: How does where we live influence how we live? Students will locate the Dominican Republic on a map and examine primary source data on the Dominican Republic in the form of written observations about geography and climate from Peace Corps Volunteers who have served there. Module Two Understanding Demographics Students will see that demographic information can help answer the question: How does where we live influence how we live? from the vantage point of data. Students will compare demographic information from the United States and the Dominican Republic. They will also examine the strengths and limitations of data as an information source about a country and its people. Module Three Beyond Demographics This module is designed to help students see that each new information source that is used provides another and more complete picture of a country.
