"Without geography, you're nowhere." -Author Unknown

This semester we are going to embark on a journey. This journey will take us all over the world to learn about landscapes, cultures, history, economics, and politics. You might be asking yourself, “Didn’t I sign up for a world geography class; I don’t remember signing up for a history class, a government class, or an economics class.” Our geographic journey will have us exploring all the regions of the world and examining their cultures, populations, history, and physical settings. Understanding geography and the history of locations can help us better understand what is happening in today’s world affairs.

To that end, my hope is to expose you to ways of learning about the world and what is happening in countries that we might now hear much about in our mainstream news. Through your blog, I encourage you to research other regions of the world that interest you and blog about what you are learning and your reactions to what is happening around the globe. Also, read your fellow classmates blogs and comment on what they have to say. Let’s get a conversation started about the geographic issues that interest YOU!
