COURSE DESCRIPTION
NCAA Eligible Course
In World Geography, students explore the principles and tools of geography while examining the world as geographers. Students gain cultural perspectives by exploring the physical and human geographic aspects of each continent and its regions. This enables students to analyze cultures throughout the world and examine how the global community impacts their lives.
In the honors variant of this course, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students in the honors courses are also presented with a cumulative exam, the Semester Final, where they will be assessed on the aggregate of content presented throughout the semester.

The teacher will carry out documented modifications and accommodations that are applicable to the online course. Progress monitoring and supplemental material will be provided by the teacher as needed.
