SUMMARY:Geography Potpourri: “Tried and True” Lessons to DO Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nHigh on engagement\, this session will showcase a medley of “kid-tested and teacher-approved” classroom activities that allow students to tap into their place-based knowledge\, leverage their cultural capital\, and share their geography connections with one another. Participants will engage in a sampler of experiential activities\, that foster cultural responsiveness (Multicultural Bingo)\, build map skills via collaboration (the “ABC’s of . . . ”)\, and develop geoliteracy skills via personalized learning (Geographize Your Name). Educators will leave this session with “tried and true” classroom-ready lessons that DO solid geography. \nSession Focus\nMiddle School/Junior High | Curriculum and Instruction | Geoliteracy\, Place-based\, Cultures \nConference Room\nFlannigan \nMeet the Presenter\nJeannine Kuropatkin has taught World History\, AP Human Geography\, World Geography\, US History\, and Holocaust Studies at the junior high and high school levels for the past 35+ years.
