Course Description:
Geography is described as the study of the “why of the where.” 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 first semester of 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. If you are in Honors Geography, the second semester of the course continues to use previously learned geography skills connected to the remaining areas of the world (Africa, Asia, etc.).

ONLINE CLASSES
World Civilization is a required class for graduation in Utah. Due to the large number of students, including part time students who take this class in addition to attending brick and mortar schooling during the day, it is my goal to remain flexible and try to accommodate the needs of each student.
