SUMMARY:From Plate Tectonics to Trade Routes: Geography Across Big History
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nIn this interactive session\, explore how OER Project: Big History helps middle school students investigate 4.5 billion years of change through a geographic lens. From plate tectonics and biomes to trade routes\, migration\, and industrialization\, participants will examine how physical landscapes shape human possibility.\n \nPresenters will model strategies for teaching Big History at key “thresholds” of complexity while aligning instruction to the National Geography Standards. Attendees will engage with classroom-ready materials and collaborate on ways to integrate spatial thinking into interdisciplinary history courses.  \nJoin us to explore how teaching on geography’s “fall lines” can help students see the powerful connections between Earth’s evolution and the human story—and better understand the forces shaping our shared future. \nSession Focus\nMiddle School/Junior High | Human and Cultural Geography | Curriculum and Instruction \nConference Room\nByrd \nMeet the Presenter\nChelsea Katzenberg\, Bridgette O’Connor\, and Bennett Sherry
