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.

I believe that all students can be successful if they apply themselves.

complete their work individually unless otherwise instructed.
-Make up work will be issued
for absent students. Students are to
pick up make up work from the “Make up Work” folder. It is to be completed within 5 days of the
