View Our Lesson Demos!

World cultures and geography is the study of physical and human geography. A world cultures curriculum is typically organized by region and allows students to explore global cultures as they analyze populations, settlement patterns, and how these affect the physical environment.

A world cultures class will also give students the opportunity to analyze and compare various factors such as development, systems of government, and standards of living in different parts of the world including the U.S., Asia, Africa, and Latin America, just to name a few.

What Do You Teach in World Cultures and Geography?

A world cultures curriculum should cover a number of topics including  geography, economy, government, history, and of course, culture. An introduction to the principles of geography and maps is typically the focus of the initial chapter(s).

When teaching middle school world geography, it’s also important to focus on in-depth studies of the world’s regions, their physical and political geography, ancient civilizations, the various cultures of that area and their characteristics.

As you teach world cultures and geography, remember to help students make real-world connections and provide positive reinforcement.  In addition, be sure to incorporate domain-specific vocabulary as well as reading and writing assignments so that students can continue to expand their literacy skills.

Learning Objectives for World Cultures and Geography

Middle school world geography gives students a comprehensive look into the cultures, climates, and physical features of the planet’s regions.  A world cultures curriculum should help your student achieve a number of important learning objectives to help prepare them for future studies.
