Introduction-
Geography and World Civilizations are required for high school graduation and Spanish Fork Junior High has traditionally offered honors sections in both classes, but to give college bound students even more flexibility, 9th grade students will be able to take a college level course in AP Human Geography.  This course is equivalent to an introductory college course in Human Geography. Students will meet high school graduation requirements for Geography and World Civilizations, but the course work will be college level. The class will prepare students to take the AP Human Geography exam in May.  If you are not intending to take the Advanced Placement Human Geography test, then you should sign up for a different section of Geography and World Civilizations.  Students who pass the Advanced Placement test will earn college credit.  The class is taught by Ms. Terry. For questions about the class, please contact Ms. Terry at lois.terry@nebo.edu. (All students who apply will be accepted, but need to fill out this form so they understand what is expected of them.)

Course Description-
AP Human Geography introduces students to the systematic study of patterns and processes that have shaped human understanding, use, and alteration of the Earth's surface. Students employ spatial concepts and landscape analysis to examine diverse peoples, areas and environmental consequences. They will also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice. Topics include population, culture, political organization, agriculture and land use, industrialization and economic development, and urban land use. Students will use a college level textbook in Human Geography.

In one paragraph, describe what you think makes a college level class different from a regular class and why you think you are prepared to take this class. Try to be succinct as possible.  *
Please copy the following statement in lower case by typing it below: I REALIZE THAT I WILL BE EXPECTED TO COMPLETE AN HOUR'S WORTH OF HOMEWORK EVERY NIGHT AND I AM WILLING TO DO THIS. 

 *

Since the focus of this class is on Human Geography, the regular work on physical geography (plate tectonics, weathering, erosion, climate, vegetation, etc.) in the State Core will be done at home. Are you willing to complete internet assignments for the unit over the summer to meet the requirement for high school graduation? The assignments are not officially due until the first Friday of the school year, but doing them early means that you won’t have as much work to do in the first week of school. 


If so, copy the following statement in lower case below: I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETING MY WORK DURING THE SUMMER MEANS I WILL HAVE LESS WORK TO DO THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.    


*
Please note that this is not an “Honors” class and will require a great deal of outside work and time. Students are not “guaranteed” to get an “A” in this class as it is significantly harder than a regular 9th grade World History and World Geography class. If you do not have time after school to do work for this class, please consider taking the regular classes.
