Climate + Imperialism, Decolonization, Globalization, Urbanization, and Empires

Angela Lee

Hi everyone!

I teach AP World, and tagged part of the Climate Project at the end of the year since I have 3 weeks left after the exam (and this year I'll have 4 since the exam is a week earlier).

I would love to incorporate more opportunities to ramp up to the Climate Project at the end of the year, and I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts about where climate topics can be incorporated throughout the year instead of just dropping it onto them.  Industrial Revolution is the obvious one - are there any other periods of history where we could highlight this?

Thanks for your thoughts!

  •   recently mentioned an AMA thread on geography with a treasure trove of resources that could be used to integrate climate conversations throughout the year.

    I've been playing around with National Geographic's MapMaker and there are several layers that students can apply and many of them are related to meteorology and physical geography.

    I'm thinking about using this tool throughout the year. My first quarter idea is for students to generate a map with two layers and decide if areas of overlap are causal or correlational. For example, is the level of human development in a region related to the amount of rainfall?

    A little off topic, but there is also a layer for UNESCO World Heritage Site. I'm considering a recurring project where students pick a site in the continent we're focusing on and make a presentation about it.

    I teach WH 1200, so I may be leaning a little hard on geography. On the other hand, my large high school offers ZERO geography courses and we also struggle every year with the "Africa isn't a country" misconception. That's a causal relationship if I've ever seen one!
