World Geography
This course provides students with opportunities
to study the five themes of geography as indicated in the Guidelines for
Geographic Education: Location, Place, Human Environmental Interaction,
Movement, and Region. The course introduces students to world geographers
and their unique vocabulary, tools, and methodologies. Students acquire
an understanding of the physical setting of the earth, locate and study
different land forms and regions of the world, learn how people and geography
impact each other, and are introduced to urban analysis. The course
offers students the opportunity to put into practice the geographical concepts
and skills they have accumulated throughout the social studies program
beginning in the elementary grades and in the Texas and United States History
courses.
