Welcome to Global Studies. This year we are going to look at both human and physical geography. We will be studying North American, South America and Europe. These regions have a wealth of history which we get to briefly cover. I will use as many hands on activities as i can to make this year engaging. Overall, I hope that you all become as enthusiastic about different regions and cultures as I am.
Here's to a great year!
