World Geography

Social Studies Dept. phone: 886-7722 ext. 45636
Overview: World Geography is an inter-disciplinary
course that encompasses a wide range of skills and knowledge including geology,
anthropology, economics, and regional studies.
These components make the course exciting and versatile, as well as
extremely demanding. The course is divided
into two main themes, theory and application.
The first semester will cover the theory of geography and includes: physical, human, economic, and cultural
geography. During the second semester
these theories will be applied to the different regions and countries of the
world. World Geography is important for
two reasons: It is required by the
Virginia Standards of Learning in order to graduate High School, but more importantly
it provides the student with a fundamental understanding of the world, and the
many diverse and interesting cultures that live in it.

The interim and report cards
are given to the students during 1st period.
Therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to bring them home to
you. If you do not see these interims or
report cards, please contact me and I will make you a copy. If a student is getting a D or F there will
be a box checked requesting a parent teacher conference. If this is the case please call me. I understand that you may be busy but often
these issues can be resolved over the phone.
