****Note*****This is Part One of a Two Part Class- Part Two will cover the world and human geography of the specific regions. This class prepares the students to fully investigate the regions next semester. Both courses create a full curriculum for the school year. 

The study of World Geography focuses on the relationships among people, places, and environments that result in geographic patterns on the earth. This is a high school level course- geared towards 9th-10th grade curriculum standards. 

The students will use geographic methods to compare and analyze landforms, climates, and natural resources, as well as cultural, political, economic, and religious characteristics of the world regions.

Students will use a variety of interdisciplinary sources, both primary and secondary, such as maps, pictures, and documents to learn about the geography of different world regions.

Through interactive class discussion and presentation, readings, activities, and more - students will leave class with a solid understanding of how  the world and people interact together, while learning the countries and regions of the world. 

Week One: Introduction to Human Geography
Week Two: Maps, Graphs, and Charts Skills Part One
Week Three: Maps, Graphs, and Charts Skills Part Two
Week Four: Physical Geography of Earth (Landforms, Features, and Climates)
Week Five: Population & Migration Geography
Week Six: Cultural Geography
Week Seven: Political Geography
Week Eight: Agricultural and Rural Geography
Week Nine: Urban and Cities Geography
Week Ten: Industrialization and Economic Development

Each week, students will be given activities to help solidify the information along with note sheets to help them keep track of information in class. 

This is a hybrid class of world and human geography which helps students to see the interconnectedness of the land with the people who live there.  This is perfect for upper middle school and high school students who are wanting to understand the relationships between people and the land and become aware of the location of countries and regions around the world. 

After both sections, students will be able to assess the role of individuals, places, and environments by demonstrating their relationships to each other. They will be able to detect the role of cause and effect in understanding historical events and examine their effects on the development of our modern government. And, students will demonstrate knowledge of current social problems, global economic interdependence, governmental processes, and the characteristics of culture.
