Perhaps readings could be assigned that coincide with the region being covered in the lesson. Geography can be taught as a topic or theme, however, as single distinct subject, more can be covered. In teaching geography, I intend on creating excitement about the discipline. This can be done through an issues-based curriculum. Case material will be utilized to give students real life examples of geography.
Policy can be very useful as well.
The implications and angles involved with policy decisions provide new edges to geography. Policy changes are recent and tend to be progressive. These approaches will stimulate the curiosity and wonder of students. While it may seem new interesting and fun to students, I will ensure that it remains challenging. Approaching next year and my first experience teaching geography, I have mixed emotions.
