AP 人文地理学ウィークリーホットトピック

This course is designed for group tutoring following the AP Human Geography Curriculum and other various human geography topics.  Students will read through various geography textbooks and answer questions on provided reading guides. This will enable the learner to come ready to discuss the weekly curriculum. Throughout the weeks, students will engage in hands-on activities with legos, graphing, mathematical calculations, and even virtual field trips that coincide with the curriculum. As this course is designed to focus on individual needs in the curriculum, student questions will guide each session on the designated topics.  Below is a description of the weekly topics and accompanying activities. 

Week 1: Introduction to Geography, Disease Investigation
Week 2: Where do people live? Population, Demographic Transition Model discussion and graphing activity

Each week will have readings to aid the student throughout the weekly hot topic sessions. The basis of discussion will come from the questions, charts, maps found in the reading  provided by the teacher.  This course is best suited for students already in enrolled in Advanced Placement Human Geography, but does not require the learner to be enrolled in a high school.  

This course is only offered in the Fall semester. I have exam prep reviews in the Spring semester.
