Students will gain a better understanding of the geography, culture, economics, history, governments, etc. of countries all over the world. 

The study of Geography has so much to offer. 

I would like to share what a recent US president said about studying Geography..... "The study of geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, it's about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together."  I can not agree more with these statements.

Students should have access to a printer so they may print out their maps.  I usually have up to three maps and a list of map locations for each lesson.
