Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography! 

It's hard to believe that we are in the 2nd quarter of the school year! I'm very impressed by this wonderful group of young people I get to serve each day!

Our third unit will be focusing on the Earth's human geography with emphasis on culture and population. Students will be working on several projects during this unit, which will take us right up to the week or so before our December holiday break. I find it appropriate that we should be studying culture in the midst of several major holidays in our culture with many treasured traditions for us to reflect upon. I am anticipating having our unit test the week of December 8th.

Essential Question for our Physical Geography unit: Which geographic concepts are most useful for understanding the world’s people?

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 a number of activities on Schoology that focus on our social studies vocabulary and work on their map skills. Students also 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.
