In Geography, we teach you the skills you need to SOLVE PROBLEMS. You will exercise your creativity and become an innovative thinker!
I can THINK like a Geographer. I can ask these three questions whenever I examine an issue in Canadian or World Geography:
What is WHERE?
Why THERE?
Why CARE?
I can ANALYZE like a Geographer. I can use the following Geographic Thinking Concepts as I learn:
Geographic Perspectives:
I am able to consider multiple perspectives to solve problems, make decisions, and create plans of action. I consider environmental, social, economic and/or political implications.
Spatial Significance:
I am able to determine the importance of a place or region and understand that humans, animals and plants can have different and unique relationships to this place or region.
Interrelationships:
I am able to explore and critically analyze connections within and between human and natural systems.
Patterns and Trends:
I am able to recognize characteristics that are similar and repetitive in place and time.
