1 History and Social Science: Advanced Placement Human Geography A.P. Human Geography Curriculum for Loudoun County Public Schools Ashburn, Virginia 2016
2 This curriculum document for Advanced Placement Human Geography is organized to help teachers plan and carry out their instruction conceptually, so that students can see patterns and connections among and between ideas and points of information. In this document, each unit s learning outcomes or objectives are listed first, followed by a summary overview of the unit from the College Board, and then a conceptual mind map connecting the content. Following the mind map in each unit is a more linear and traditional textual outline with references to points of content that students must learn in AP Human Geography. Each section of the unit outline is framed by important conceptual questions that serve as a foundation for the teaching and learning of that section. All conceptual questions appear in italics. There are seven units in this A.P. curriculum. SOL connections are listed in red on the Objectives page for all units, but also appear in the branches of the mind maps. For this AP course in Loudoun County, it is recommended that Unit I take 2 weeks, Unit II 4 weeks, Unit III 6 weeks, Unit IV 4 weeks, Unit V 4 weeks, Unit VI 6 weeks, and Unit VII 5 weeks, culminating in the AP Exam during the second week in May. We hope teachers find that the concepts contained and explained in this document serve as a productive mental framework for students and for themselves. This instructional layout and approach offers cognitive structures that are essential to the solid comprehension of our curriculum content.
