Geography and World Cultures

Geography and World Cultures is a robust one-semester course that explores how geographic features, human relationships, political and social structures, economics, science and technology, and the arts have developed and influenced life in countries around the world. Along the way, students are given rigorous instruction on how to read and create maps, charts, and graphs. Geography and World Cultures is designed to be the first course in the social studies sequence. It helps students develop note-taking skills, teaches analytic writing, and introduces students to the close examination of primary documents.
