World Geography  

Seventh-grade world geography seeks to build upon the skills and knowledge developed in sixth-grade world history. The Five Themes of Geography – Place, Location, Region, Human/Environment Interaction and Movement – are the starting point for the year and serve as a guiding outline for the year of study. Students develop map skills and become knowledgeable of the two major divisions of geography: human geography and physical geography. Students may engage in major projects, including paper mache globes and creating your own island country. Geographical regional studies include the United States and Canada, Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
