This class focuses on gaining a better understanding of the world. We start with a chapter and focus on what is geography and how do we actually study it. Then there are several chapters on large global topics like languages and religions. We have a brief glimpse at US geography, then we shift to Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Europe, and perhaps a chapter on Oceania. The class focuses more on culture, history, and ways of life over maps and capitals (though they are still included). There is also a Global Current Events component to this class to help students see what is going on around the world today.
