Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Dive into the rich cultures, captivating histories, and breathtaking landscapes of diverse countries. Learn about the forces that shape our planet and the people who call it home. From towering mountains to vast oceans and ancient civilizations to modern metropolises, our class will take you on an unforgettable adventure. Don't miss this opportunity to broaden your horizons and become a global citizen. Join us today and let's explore the world together!

This course is the first half of a rhetorical level course intended to introduce the student to the major themes and patterns of world geography.  This course will involve both writing and reading.  We will be reading a full-range of primary documents from each topic we study.  You will be learning how to read, think about, analyze, argue with, and present ideas about physical and human geography and to connect events to the larger trends and themes in world history.

This class is a discussion-based, interactive format. Each week you will be responsible for reading background material and assigned primary documents.  You will be expected to write a reading response for each of your readings.  These reading responses should be 1-2 pages on the background material for each topic.  In class, we will spend much time discussing our reading, putting themes in their historical context and asking questions about the author’s and our own worldviews.  I expect you to come to class prepared to participate in this discussion. You will also be assigned brief presentations.  These presentations will involve researching the biographical information for significant figures and key information for major moments we will study in class. 

What you can expect from this class:
-develop an understanding of the intersection of physical and human geography
-explore cultures from various regions
-investigate statistical patterns affecting the where and why of the world
-improve your presentation skills

Learning Goals

We will explore natural and human features to a variety of countries, continents, and locations.
Students will explore the themes and patterns of world geography.
