Geography for Life will explore how to use geography as a tool to better understand the world in which we live. Students will learn to evaluate and question the why and where of spatial perceptions that are read, seen, and heard. The six standards identified below are best understood when using the following geographic themes: location, place, movement, region, and human-environmental interaction. The course will include map skills with physical and human geography essentials, beginning with North America, South America, Europe, and their connections to other world regions. The course continues to use previously learned geography skills connected to the remaining areas of the world.
