- Description
-
In the study of world geography, students utilize physical and cultural perspectives to examine people, places and environment at local, national and international levels. Students describe the influence of geography and the events of the past and present. A significant portion of the course centers around the physical processes that shape patterns of the physical environment; the characteristics of major landforms, climates and ecosystems; the political, economic and social processes that shape cultural patterns of regions; types and patterns of settlements; the distribution and movement of world population; relationships among people, places and environment; and the concept of religion. There is also an emphasis on mapping and writing skills (DBQ's & essays).

DBQ is now due Monday March 30th
I have been getting many emails about the DBQ so I posting this on google classroom and my blog. Please check daily for updates. Things will always change. I will NOT be asking for copies of the documents you answered. I will only be collecting the typed DBQ. If you have any questions about answering the document questions email me. You should have answered the questions to all the documents by the end of the day Friday. Once again, I am not collecting the answered documents.
Monday - Write your thesis and look up the additional information you will use in the essay. Mrs. C helped you with the web-sites. http://olshlibrary.weebly.com/mrs-bagnells-dbq-resources.html. Remember you need a minimum of 3 additional information and it can not be one sentence. Go back and reread the directions. I will take email questions on the thesis today. You can email Mrs. C if you have questions. I believe she put these on her library page.
Tuesday - Write the DBQ by using all documents that are economic. Remember you are answering the task (go back and look at directions). "What are the effects on society" (incorporate any outside information you found as you are explaining the documents) I will take email questions on this today
