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
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. 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: - Edpuzzle for interactive multimedia videos. (Note that students will need to create their own free account) https://edpuzzle.com/ - Instructional resources will be created and organized with Canva and Articulate 360 https://www.canva.com/ https://rise.articulate.com/
Supply List
All materials will be supplied by the instructor
