SUMMARY:Geography in the Global System of Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nParticipants will connect the importance of geography to the agricultural production of the food\, clothing\, and shelter that we depend on in our daily lives. These connections will focus on the three Big Ideas of the AP Human Geography course: Patterns and Spatial Organization\, Impacts and Interactions\, and Spatial Process and Societal Change. Through exploration of classroom-tested lessons and hands-on activities\, teachers will learn strategies for active engagement in helping students understand how geography and agriculture impact their quality of life. The impacts of the geography/agriculture connection will be identified using the SPEED model—social\, political\, economic\, environmental\, demographic. Additionally\, attendees will explore strategies for enhancing student discussion and assisting students in conducting risk assessments for socioscientific issues including bioengineered foods\, organic vs. conventional farming\, food sustainability\, and livestock production processes. Presenters will share free online lessons tied to National Geography Standards\, Common Core\, and National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes. Attendee takeaways include digitally accessible resources and a resource bag of classroom materials. \nSession Focus\nAPHG |Agriculture | Population \nRoom\nColonnade \nMeet the Presenters\nCassie Bates has been teaching AP Human Geography since the fall of 2014\, bringing a wealth of experience and passion to the classroom.
