The study of World Geography focuses on the relationships among people, places, and environments that result in geographic patterns on the earth. 

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.

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.
