In World Geography, students examine people, places, and environments using a variety of perspectives. Students describe the influence of geography on events of the past and present. The course centers around both the physical processes that shape patterns in the physical environment, and the political, economic, and social processes that shape cultural patterns. Students analyze how location affects human activities in throughout the world. Students identify the processes that influence political divisions of the planet and analyze how different points of view affect the development of public policies. Students compare how components of culture shape the characteristics of regions and analyze the impact of technology and human modifications on the physical environment. Students use problem-solving and decision-making skills to ask and answer geographic questions. |
