Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography! 

As we near the halfway point of the school year, I continue to be very impressed by this wonderful group of young people I get to serve each day! Their collective efforts and positive attitudes each day make working with them a try joy!

We will be wrapping up our Human Geography unit with a short project where students will reflect upon their own cultures and some of their families' traditions so if your student is asking questions about holidays and such this is why. We will end our time before the holiday break with a quick, five day unit on types of Governments. Governments will continue to spiral throughout the year so this is just a quick introduction before a well deserved break for all.

When we return from break, we will begin out Economics unit where students will learn some of the basics of economics, including: supply, demand, opportunity cost, global trade, advertising, money, banking, and many others. I am anticipating this unit taking us about six weeks.

Essential Question for our Physical Geography unit: How does studying economics give us more insight into a country or region?

As always, please reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns.

Outside Activities:

Looking for something to do outside of class?  Students have the Seterra App on their iPads that has a bunch of different interactive map games and activities they can work on too.   You can also watch/read the news with your student and discuss things that are going on in the world.
