World Geography Overview

World Geography Content Focus

Interactions between humans and their physical geography

Movement of goods, ideas, and people over time

World Geography Claims

What patterns exist in world geography?

How have human’s interactions with their physical geography changed over time?

How does geography impact historical events, politics, and the economy?

Students develop a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of people and place. By analyzing the physical and human systems, geographical features, and regional commonalities of different locations around the world, students explain how society, the environment, the political and economic landscape, and historical events influence perspectives, values, traditions, and ideas.

To accomplish this, they:

• Use key questions to build understanding of content through multiple sources

• Corroborate sources and evaluate evidence by considering author, occasion, and purpose

Students develop and express claims through discussions and writing which examine the impact of relationships between ideas, people, and events across time and place. Students evaluate primary and secondary sources to deepen their understanding and to support their own claims about the content.

To accomplish this, they

• Recognize recurring themes and patterns in history, geography, economics, and civics

• Evaluate the causes and consequences of events and developments
