Grade 10 Geographic Issues of the 21st Century (20F) 1 credit
T1180 20F
Internet access required, as this is a web-based course.
People often ask why they need to take geography courses in school. We use geography every day. For example, you used a mental map of your house or apartment when you walked from your bedroom to the bathroom during the night. You use directions when you explain to a friend where you are going to meet. You use geography when you make plans to go on a vacation and have to decide what clothes to take along. You use geography when you listen to the news and hear of a natural disaster overseas.
This course will provide you with the opportunity to study some basics in geography and will encourage you to think about how the daily decisions we make impact other people and the environment.
This course is divided into five modules:
- Geographic Literacy
- Natural Resources
- Food from the Land
- Industry and Trade
- Urban Places
