The following units will be covered: the nature of geography, cultural geography, population geography, political organization of space, industrialization, urban and rural land use. Students will learn to analyze maps, data, and geographic models. Not only will students learn about the world, but we will use local issues for case studies. Analysis of current world events and opinion writing will be required. Students may receive college credit for successful completion of the College Board AP test. Acceptable scores vary among colleges. Students must take the AP test in order to receive AP credit. Requirements: Rubenstein, James M., The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography, 8th Edition. Upper Saddle River, NJ. Pearson Education, 2005.

Because this class involves complex and controversial cultural and political issues, students must be respectful of the opinions of their classmates. Each unit will be followed with an objective test, free response questions and an analytical essay. There will be a short quiz every Friday on current events that pertain to our discipline with a corresponding map quiz. Changing events in the world may necessitate the revision of our case studies. Additional projects are as follows: 1st quarter 1000 Splendid Suns 2nd quarter Cultural Comparison scrapbook 3rd quarter research paper on world issue 4th quarter NGO creation and presentation to solve problem addressed in research paper Rubrics will be provided for each assignment APHUG Unit 1-Geography: Its Nature and Perspectives 8/25 Intro to HUG, GQ Reading: Rubenstein, 1 8/26 Five themes, analysis of Forsyth Co. / CIA Homework 8/27 World map test Physical geography 8/30 FRQ on Poisonwood Bible 8/31 Maps, Scale & Projection/ Historical and Political/ Must have 1000 Splendid Suns 9/1 Cartograms and Chloropleths 9/2 Region / FRQ practice 9/3 Region analysis formal, functional, vernacular/ UN Wire 9/7 Culture 9/8 Connection and Diffusion/ homework observation 9/9 FRQ 9/10 Riverrun at East-analysis Unit 2 Population and Movement Rubenstein, 2/3 9/13 Population-Environmental determinism/ Possibilism 9/14 Reading tables and Acronyms 9/15 interpreting the Why of population figures 9/16 Demographic Transition model 9/17 Application and UN Wire 9/20 population pyramids 9/21 Using pyramids to interpret and predict/ practice 9/22 Malthus 9/23 Swift and Neo Malthusian Theory 9/24 Analysis/UN Wire 9/27 Case Studies-Cairo Plan/ A Million Girls are Missing 9/28 Specific gender issues in population 9/29Current political issues/ immigration 9/30 Disease/ AIDS Mapping and data due 10/1 Current disease challenges and geography/ UN Wire QUIZ 10/4 Migration-push pull-US Immigration history 10/5 Immigration debate 10/6 Refugees UNHCR/lab 10/7 Diaspora of the Palestinian Community-effects of refugee containment 10/8 Katrinas victimsRefugees-reading analysis?/ UN QUIZ 10/11 Newtons First Law of Migration 10/12 Assimilation, Acculturation, Intervening Obstacles 10/13 Analysis essay 10/14 Objective test 10/15 FRQ_______________________________________________________ Unit 3 Cultural Patterns and Processes Rubenstein 4,5,6,7 10/18 Components of Culture/ All Cultures are Equal David Brooks 10/19 Mapping Cultural Realms and Regions/ Identifying Hearths 10/20 Understanding Southern realm region analysis 10/21 Diffusion Gansta Culture reading 10/22 FRQ 1000 Splendid Suns 10/25 Material World 10/26 Folk and pop culture 10/27 Food and relationship to place 10/28 Death practices and superstition around the world____________________ 11/1 Folk music listening exercises and identification 11/2 Clothing relationship to place 11/3 Architecture and relationship to place/ 11/4 American residential architecture 11/5 Language roots/ Film clip The Gods Must Be Crazy /UN Wire Quiz 11/8 Language diffusion 11/9 language and it effects on the cultural landscape 11/10 History of the Basque Conflict 11/11 Veterans Day 11/12 Objective test on 4/5 11/15 FRQ 11/16 Religion-diffusion and maps 11/17 Universalizing vs. ethnic religion 11/18 Animism and nature religions-folk readings 11/19 Hinduism 11/22 Religion case studies 11/23 Thanksgiving in world cultures 11/29 Judaism-People of the book and the patriarchy of Abraham 11/30 Comp lab-religion 12/1 Comp lab History of Israeli/ Palestinian conflict 12/2 Buddhism 12/3 Christianity/UN Wire 12/6 Islam 12/7 Sunni vs. Shia/ Iraq 12/8 History of the Northern Ireland Conflict 12/9 Religion on the Cultural landscapesacred space 12/10 Field Study-Wholefoods, World Villages, Nawab.
