    Extractions: How many of your students could identify the location of their home country on a world map? U.S. education officials were shocked when a nine-nation survey found that one in five young Americans (18- to 24-year-olds) could not locate the United States on an outline map of the world! That study represents one of the turning points in geography education in the United States. Although most U.S. students still don't take a "geography" course in school as students in many other countries do increased emphasis on the development of geography skills is more widespread today than it was ten years ago. Organizations such as National Geographic and the National Council for the Social Studies have created materials to aid teachers in teaching geography skills. And about ten years ago, the Joint Committee on Geographic Education of the National Council for Geographic Education and the American Association of Geographers developed five specific themes to help focus teacher and student thinking when it comes to geography. Those five themes follow:

    Extractions: This section is devoted to maps, on many different projections, showing the whole of our World (or a part greater than one continent) as it appeared to different cartographers over a period of many years. Early maps were mostly inspired guesswork. Since no cartographer had ever visited some of the regions the shape of the continents and, indeed, the number of continents shown reflects more ignorance than knowledge. From the 16th Century there was a huge expansion in trade between continents and the beginnings of the creation of the colonial Empires. These factors drove a growing industry in cartography with a much higher demand for accuracy. By the end of the 17th Century the coast lines of most of the world had been surveyed with commendable accuracy in the light of the primitive instrumentation available. However, many inland areas were still mysteries that would await the attention of later cartographers.

    http://ecedweb.unomaha.edu/lessons/feogx.htm
    
    Extractions: Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a basic measure of economic output, is the total market value of all final goods and services produced in an economy in a given year. Although GDP does not account for differences in the types of goods produced, nor for differences in the distribution of income, GDP per capita (GDP divided by population) is often used to compare the economies of countries and the well-being of their citizens. Geographers apply a spatial perspective to eco-nomic and social data using choropleth maps. A choropleth map shows differences between areas. Distinct categories of qualities can be represented by different colors or shading patterns. Four different colors could represent deserts, mountains, forests, and grasslands, for example. Choropleth maps can be used to display differences in quantities as well. The range of population density can be divided into five to ten categories. Each category is then assigned a color or shading pattern, and each area on the map is colored based on its category of population density. Regional concentrations of population and areas of sparse population could be easily identi-fied with such a map. Choropleth maps that display economic data aid in the analysis of that data. This lesson uses choropleth maps of GDP per capita. This tech-nique will be used in subsequent lessons with other measures of well-being.

SYLLABUS COURSE PURPOSES: Low level learning objective: to ask and learn where ; to get enough map knowledge about the world as a set of places each with its own special traits to begin to associate place names with their cultural and spatial context. Reading the book and studying for place name exams will be the primary vehicles for achieving this objective. Intermediate level learning objectives: to look for spatial patterns underlying the Earth's regional divisions, enhance our ability to perceive the world as a set of interconnected places, and ask how these patterns arose and persist. Class discussions of book contents will be the primary means for achieving this objective. Higher level learning objectives: to ask why regional patterns are important by exploring the relationship between place and human identity; trying to better understand "foreign" points-of-view and thus who we are, and to ask the "Should" of "where:" What are the ethical implications of geographic facts? TEXTS: To a great extent, your success in this class is a function of timely reading of the text, completion of the map exercises, and browsing the atlas.

    Extractions: Five Themes and the Swahili Coast By Bob Manning Stillwater Junior High School Annotation: This lesson is for middle school geography students. Its purpose is to use the Swahili Coast region to show an application of the 5 Themes of Geography. The region itself is defined in terms of location, the name itself, and the cultural characteristics that make it unique. An emphasis is placed on how the movement of people, goods and ideas has shaped it over time and continues to make this a dynamic culture. Finally, students will be able to explain what impact the movement theme has on their own lives. Theme: This lesson will apply the 5 Themes of Geography to a specific place, the Swahili Coast of East Africa. It will primarily focus on the Movement theme, showing how the culture has been influenced by many factors and continues to change to this day. Grade Level: Title: Cultures on the Move Overview: They will then analyze how the movement of people, goods and ideas has shaped this place. We will focus on how these rich city-states were established because of trade with India and Arabia for their natural resources. Time: Two 50 minute class periods Subjects: This is primarily a geography lesson.

    Extractions: Geography 200 World Regional Geography Fall 2003 You completed your homework on a computer made in South Korea using software written in India . You sent a letter to your brother stationed in Saudi Arabia and went out for dinner at an Ethiopian restaurant. On the way home you stopped for a newspaper at a local package store run by a nice family of Brazilian immigrants. The front-page stories say that CO2 emissions in England might cause flooding in Guam , that currency devaluation in the Philippines might mean cheaper clothes in Columbus , and that the 6 Billionth person was born recently in India . You sit down for Nicaraguan coffee on your couch made in Sweden and drift to sleep dreaming of a beach in Australia . You’ve had a very global day but you are now very much confused. What do all of these places have to do with one another? What’s going on here that they are so much a part of your daily life? Where is Guam , anyway?! This class will introduce the trends in population, development, and environment that are occurring in all of these places. Moreover, it will present methods and concepts to help you trace and explain the global and regional processes that drive changes around the world today. By the end of the course, you will be familiar with these methods, concepts, and techniques and you will have a good basic grounding in major trends in the regions of the world. Finally, you will have mastered some basic information about these regions and will be able to locate the important physical and human features of each. More to the point, you will have digested the course’s central theme:
