Students will apply the constructivist approach to understanding the five themes of geography. Through a literature rich environment, students will discover how humans interact and connect with their environment in different regions. Students will learn how the movement of people, goods, and ideas shape each region’s development as well as identify locations and understand the impact of geography on the culture and characteristics of a region. Students will explore a variety of non-fiction texts, fictional short stories, historical maps, primary photos, and recent news articles. Through technology integration students will collaborate virtually to produce projects that will be shared on a global level. (Fall)
