SUMMARY:Infusing Geography into Genealogy: Creating a Family Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThis workshop is designed to bring a lesson to a larger\, teaching professional\, audience. The Family Geography Project transforms the well-worn family tree into a more critical and more research aligned document that has served to enhance student understanding of the complex socioeconomic situations that create a each family’s geography. The essence of the project underscores the NCGE Strand “Geography for Life” and parallels the “America250 through a Geographic Lens” strand. The end result is a living document that can be added to as students continue their lifelong geographical journey. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels| Geography for Life | Curriculum and Instruction \nConference Room\nByrd \nMeet the Presenters\nJohnathan Walker is an Assistant Professor of Geography at James Madison University in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies.
