一年間の地理コース - 中学校 - 楽しくてインタラクティブ！

This is a fun and interactive class where students will cover a high-level overview of an entire school year's worth of geography lessons! My goal is not only to teach students about geography but to leave them with a deeper understanding of how we are connected to the world around us.


Lessons will include landforms, weather patterns, country studies, oceans, and much more!
(See syllabus for a full breakdown of the lesson plans.)

Classes are composed of video lessons, slideshows, detailed pictures, games, and conversation! No homework will be provided, but weekly notes will be added to the classroom page if students wish to do extra review work at home.
