<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif';">This course is only a semester long. Unit 1 will act as an introduction to geography where we will look at things like reading maps and learning basic geography terms that will be used throughout the semester. Units 2 through 11 will explore each region’s culture (what they eat, the religions they practice, etc), what type of governments they employ, the significant landforms, how the people have adapted to the environment of the region among various other things in order to understand how different (and in some ways similar) the regions of the world are.
