Project Based Learning in the World Geography Classroom

Gustavus Adolphus College

The goal of this session is to spark inspiration, exchange, and even debate amongst geography educators at all levels about the merits of a project-based approach to teaching world geography. I will share the lessons my colleagues and I have learned since overhauling our introductory undergraduate World Geography course five years ago. We redesigned the course from a textbook-based survey of world regions to a project-based class centered around two student projects: one tracing global commodities and another eliciting international migrants’ experiences. I talk through the best practices I have developed in my classroom (both in-person and virtual), summarize student survey responses about the course design, and showcase some student work. I make the case that despite the challenges and possible drawbacks, project-based approaches to world geography are worthwhile.

Presenter
Paula Woods, NCGE 2022 AP Distinguished Teacher Recipient. My name is Paula Woods and I started my teaching career in CCSD almost 24 years ago. . After ten years of my hair turning gray due to teaching middle school geography, I transitioned to the world of high school. I started off as an APUSH and US History teacher but I have to admit I missed the world of culture and maps. In the summer of 2014, a year after we introduced APHUG at our school, the teacher left to take another position and I was the designated “new” teacher. “This will be fun and this will be easy with my background.” How naive I was, lol. While teaching this course has been challenging because I had to reframe what I thought AP Human Geography was and truly learn what it is, it has also been fulfilling exposing my students to spatial analysis. The majority of my APHUG students tell me that this class was one of their favorites and that is enough to keep me coming back for more each year. Along with Starbucks, rewatching Hamilton, and Puerto Rico.

Hands-on Play Saves the Day: Play-Doh® and LEGO® in the Middle School Classroom
2023-11-29 19:00 - 20:00
Summary
Students of all ages can struggle to visualize three-dimensional landscapes from two-dimensional contour maps. This engagement effort in the middle school classroom incorporated hands-on play with Play-Doh® and LEGO® to reinforce student learning about topographic maps. Students constructed three-dimensional landscapes and further learned about how topographic data can be generated with drones. Findings suggest through pre- and post-test comparison that such efforts support student learning.

The Global History of the Tomato: A Perspective from the Middle East
2024-03-06 19:00 - 20:00
Summary
Alfred Crosby, who coined the term “Columbian Exchange,” wrote in 1972 that “there is no area in which the story of American foods is as obscure and yet as vital to the understanding of world history as in the Middle East.” Since then, however, the question of how foods like tomatoes and peppers made their way to and through the Middle East has not been a subject of much scholarly research. This webinar takes up the case of the tomato and explores multiple routes by which it may have traveled from present-day Mexico to Egypt, where it transformed both cuisine and horticulture and became a cultural touchstone of Arab cuisine. The seminar aims to offer a new way to frame the geographies of the Columbian Exchange beyond the Atlantic.
About the Presenter

Anny Gaul is a cultural historian studying food and gender in the Middle East. She’s currently an assistant professor of Arabic Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she teaches classes on the culture, gender history, literature, and food of the Arabic-speaking world. She’s currently writing a book that tells the story of modern Egypt through a cultural history of the tomato. She has also taught at Georgetown and Tufts University, works as a translator (from Arabic) and has a food blog at cookingwithgaul.com. Her Phd is from Georgetown and Anny has received awards and fellowships from the Fulbright program, the Social Science Research Council, the Council of American Overseas Research Centers, the American Research Center in Egypt, and the American Institute for Maghrib Studies.
