I am quite happy to be teaching more of this type of content this year. Learning more about geography, government and economics goes a very long way in helping students to understand the world around them. I get really excited about these topics, and my students certainly see my enthusiasm. I am already looking forward to the great discussions we are going to have!
While only a small part of geography, you will notice if you ever come into my classroom, that I am a map person. There are SO MANY great maps out there and they can do such a good job of visually representing information. Maps for everything. My students will quickly learn, I also have a ton of interesting maps that I have found and saved over the years.
