It is my hope that not only will you get a grade of 5 on the AP exam next May, but that you will also develop a love and passion for geography. The AP Human Geography course is equivalent to an introductory college-level course in human geography. The course introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine socioeconomic organization and its environmental consequences.

Welcome to AP Human Geography at Wheaton High School. I am excited that you have decided to

accept the challenge of taking an advanced placement class. You will strengthen your academic, intellectual,

observation, and discussion skills. I am looking forward to teaching this class and I am dedicated to providing

a challenging and rewarding academic experience. It is my hope that not only will you get a grade of 5 on the

AP exam next May, but that you will also develop a love and passion for geography.

The AP Human Geography course is equivalent to an introductory college-level course in human geography.

The course introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human

understanding, use, and alteration of Earth’s surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape

analysis to examine socioeconomic organization and its environmental consequences. They also learn about

the methods and tools geographers use in their research and applications. The curriculum reflects the goals of

the National Geography Standards (2012).

Goals of AP Human Geography Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: Interpret maps and analyze geospatial data; Understand and explain the implications of associations and networks among phenomena in places; Recognize and interpret the relationships among patterns and processes at different scales of analysis; Define regions and evaluate the regionalization process; and Characterize and analyze changing interconnections among places.

Topic Outline for AP Human Geography

The AP Human Geography course is organized around seven major topics:

Thinking Geographically

Population and Migration Patterns and Processes

Cultural Patterns and Processes

Political Patterns and Processes

Agriculture and Rural Land-Use Patterns and Processes

Cities and Urban Land-Use Patterns and Processes

Industrial and Economic Development Patterns and Processes

The Summer Assignment:

To ensure that students are adequately prepared for geographic requirements, students are tasked as their summer assignment for AP Human Geography, with being able to identify the locations of a series of physical and political arrangements in our world

“Physical and Political geography is the "skeleton" on which Human Geography hangs.”
Due Date: August 31, 2020 Map Activities Directions:

Use an atlas—book or online – to find the locations and neatly label the attached maps. Here are online examples:
