This is a two-hour study of Human Geography designed to be a crash course to review. I will provide students with a one-page graphic organizer upon enrollment that reviews the 7 AP Human Geography Units. During our time together, we will discuss the topics, draw connections with the units, and develop critical thinking skills. Students should be able to discuss the AP Human Geography coursework learned throughout the year in their high school setting. We will encourage use of content related examples, free response style answers, and give test-taking strategies to improve student scores on the AP Human Geography exam. This is designed to be a fast and furious review that hits the highlights of the course.
