Introduction/Overview/Philosophy  \nAP Human Geography is a yearlong course that focuses on the distribution, processes, and effects of human populations on the planet. Units of study include population, migration, culture, language, religion, ethnicity, political geography, economic development, industry, agriculture, and urban geography. Emphasis is placed on geographic models and their applications. Case studies from around the globe are compared to the situation in both the United States and locally. Video and Internet activities are used to explore certain topics. Students will prepare for the Advanced Placement examination. The course meets the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, the AP College Board requirements, and LGBTQ+, Holocaust/Genocide and Amistad Mandates.  \nII. Objectives  \nCourse Outline:  \nWeeks 1–3: The Nature of Geography [SC1 & SC2]  \n1. Define geography, human geography; explain the meaning of the spatial perspective.  \n2. Explain how geographers classify each of the following and provide examples  \nof each: a) distributions b) locations c) regions  \n3. Identify how each of the following plays a role in mapmaking:  \na) simplification  \nb) categorization  \nc) symbolization  \nd) induction  \n4. Identify types of scale and projections used in mapmaking; identify advantagesand disadvantages of different projections. [SC10]  \n5. List different types (models) of diffusion and provide examples/illustrations of each in the real world. [SC12]  \n6. Distinguish between different types of maps and mapped information (e.g., dot distribution, choropleth, etc.) and provide explanations of strengths and weaknesses of each. [SC10 & SC11]  \nWeeks 4–6: Population [SC3]  \n1. Map major and emerging population concentrations and describe demographic characteristics of each.  \n2. Consider the concepts of ecumene and non-ecumene, and consider:  \na) Why do most people live where they do?  \nb) For what reasons have humans historically avoided certain areas?  \nc) Where do non-examples of each exist? Why?  \n3. Calculate arithmetic, agricultural, and physiological densities and describe the strengths and weaknesses of each for demographic analysis.  \n4. Explain the elements of a population pyramid and distinguish between  \nAP Human Geography Page 2  \ncharacteristic shapes.  \n5. Explain the demographic transition model:  \na) What are its components?  \nb) Which countries does it describe in each phase?  \nc) Why might it not predict the future for developing countries today? [SC12]  \n6. Give examples of pro-and anti-natalist policies and their effects in example countries.  \n7. Define key demographic terms and identify regions in which high and low extreme examples of each can be found.  \n8. Concerning natural hazards, do the following:  \na) list various types of natural hazards and disasters  \nb) map the areas most affected by them [SC11]  \nc) compare with the map of population distribution  \nd) hypothesize the degree of danger in various regions  \ne) discuss methods that are taken to adapt to these dangers  \nWeeks 7–9: Movement [SC3]  \n1. Distinguish between and give characteristics of the following types of human Movement:  \na) circulation and migration  \nb) forced and voluntary migration  \nc) push and pull factors  \n2. Discuss the contributions of Ravenstein to the study of human movement and migration. [SC12]  \n3. Use the gravity model to predict migration and evaluate its efficiency and usefulness. [SC12]  \n4. Map specific examples of historic and contemporary forced migrations, explaining push and pull factors associated with each.  \n5. Characterize a refugee and refugee populations.  \n6. Discuss the migration history of the United States through the following:  \na) immigration history  ","cbCairkbKIYqypzN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairkbKIYqypzN","pdf",337788,23,"English","# Introduction/Overview/Philosophy\n# Objectives\n## Weeks 1–3: The Nature of Geography\n## Weeks 4–6: Population\n## Weeks 7–9: Movement\n## Weeks 10–11: Culture\n## Weeks 12–13: Geography of Language\n## Weeks 14–16: Geography of Religion","[{\"question\":\"What topics are covered in AP Human Geography during the year?\",\"answer\":\"The course covers distribution and processes affecting human populations, including population, migration, culture, language, religion, ethnicity, political geography, economic development, industry, agriculture, and urban geography.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the course use geography models and mapmaking skills?\",\"answer\":\"Students emphasize geographic models and their applications, including mapmaking components such as simplification, categorization, symbolization, and induction, plus scale types and projection advantages and disadvantages.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills do students build for the AP exam?\",\"answer\":\"Students prepare for the Advanced Placement examination by completing structured weekly objectives, using case studies and video/Internet activities to explore geographic concepts and compare global cases with U.S. and local situations.\"}]","AP Human Geography - Full Year Course Outline | PDF",1790692367,58]
