This course is the 2nd half to a rhetorical level course intended to introduce the student to the major themes and patterns of world geography.  Students may join this class without taking the 1st part. This course will involve both writing and reading.  We will be reading a full-range of primary documents from each topic we study.  You will be learning how to read, think about, analyze, argue with, and present ideas about physical and human geography and to connect events to the larger trends and themes in world history.

This class is taught at a standard level, however, I am able to offer additional work as well as AP designation on your transcript if you would like your student to take this class at an AP level, as I am AP authorized--please contact me about this option.

This is a self-paced version of my popular live Geography course.  As a self-paced version, this course will offer no live class meetings.  Instead, your student will have access to 1-2 class recordings weekly to watch, as well as additional written and visual documents to augment the recording.  The student will also have various quizzes and interactive assignments to check their understanding of the video content, creating a workshop feel during the 15 weeks.  Also each week, students will have an opportunity to complete their own longer writing assignments related to the class content and to receive individualized teacher feedback.  

For each continent, we will conduct mapping projects, as well as cultural studies.  Students will research independently representative cultures from each continent to share with the class.  We will use black line maps to study the political and geographical features of each location.  

What you can expect from this class:
-develop an understanding of the intersection of physical and human geography
-explore cultures from various regions
-investigate statistical patterns affecting the where and why of the world
-improve your presentation skills
