Helpful Resources for Today:

• Unit 1, Part 1: Geography Terms and Concepts (Google Slides)

Today, we will begin to dive into Unit 1, Part 1: Geography Terms and Concepts.
You will take a formative quiz on the terms and concepts from Chapter 1 (Fouberg). You will also work in a group to complete a timed challenge to answer some questions based off of a ridiculously silly video (if you never forget this ridiculous cartoon song, goal accomplished for me).  

On our first day, we will go over what to expect for the AP Human Geography (APHG) course this year and take a quick look at each of the thematic units. After looking at the course syllabus and discussing what to expect for summatives (MCQs and FRQs), we will jump right into the course (yes, even on the first day). We will start with a quick review of maps-- why we create them, various ways we use them to inform us about the physical and human world, and why they are not all created equal --or even accurate.

You will receive your copy of the textbook, Human Geography (Fouberg) in today's class. You'll need it for your first HW assignment. Yes, there is homework after Day 1. Really. Sorry. #sorrynotsorry
