Assignments
2-4 hours per week. The course consists of weekly modules that include instructional videos, multimedia presentations, reading assignments, Cornell notes, and weekly assessments consisting of AP-style multiple choice questions.
Assessment
Weekly quizzes, final exam, and optional final grade. Each weekly module culminates with a quiz. There is a final exam consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions and two FRQs. The final exam is worth 20% of the final letter grade. *Please note that you will need to sign up for the official College Board AP Exam separately from this course* **Important Info*** If you have not already arranged to take the AP exam in May, you will want to start looking for the location early in the school year, because exams have to be ordered by Nov. 15th to avoid a late fee. You can go to this website to find local high schools that host the AP exam. Then you can call the school and ask for the AP Coordinator and have them sign you up and order your test. Many allow students from other schools/homeschoolers to take exams there. https://apcourseaudit.inflexion.org/ledger/

Learning Needs
This class is intentionally designed to support diverse learning needs, including ADHD, Dyslexia, and ASD. I use structured lessons, visual aids, and interactive activities to make content accessible and engaging for all students.
Parental Guidance
AP Human Geography introduces high school students to college-level introductory human geography or cultural geography. The content is presented thematically rather than regionally and is organized around the discipline’s main subfields: economic geography, cultural geography, political geography, and urban geography. Culture is firmly embedded into each chapter of the class. Students will learn why people move from place to place, analyze different religions that are practiced throughout the world, discover how food is made and consumed throughout the planet, and explore how, why, and where homes are constructed on our diverse planet. The approach is spatial and problem-oriented. Case studies are drawn from all world regions, with an emphasis on understanding the world in which we live today. This will better prepare students to become productive citizens in a growing and complex society. Historical information serves to enrich the analysis of the impacts of phenomena such as globalization, colonialism, and human–environment relationships on places, regions, cultural landscapes, and patterns of interaction. The class will utilize the following third-party resources: - Students will need access to Google Slides or PowerPoint for certain assignments. I recommend students use Google Slides, because it is free and also provides Google Drive as a place to organize and save their work. https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/0/?tgif=d - Kahoot for review activities: https://kahoot.com/schools-u/ - Edpuzzle for interactive multimedia instruction and and instructional videos. (Note that students will need to create their own free account) https://edpuzzle.com/ - Padlet will be used to create virtual gallery walks and class discussions https://padlet.com/ - Instructional resources will be created and organized with Canva and Articulate 360 https://www.canva.com/ https://rise.articulate.com/

Weekly reading excerpts will reference this text. Reading excerpts provided through the course are intended for instructional reference only and can't be read by screen readers or other assistive technology features. 

Another resource I highly recommend, especially as a study review tool as the exam approaches, is the iScore5 App. It works well on mobile devices, and the creators are the same people who wrote the first wave of official APHG exams. It costs $4.99. Learn more at https://iscore5.com/ap-human-geography/
