Introduction to McDougal Littell World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe from McDougal Littell offers a vibrant, visual approach that motivates students to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the diversity of peoples globally. Basic physical geography skills are balanced with an exploration of traditions, cultures, and daily lives from across the range of global peoples. Using the Five Themes of Geography as a basis for developing geography skills, this program helps students understand geography s effect on history and culture. World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe offers interactive lessons that help students make the connection between geography and current events. Through the program, students learn how early cultures relate to their own lives and how modern times have been influenced by events of the past. Students come to see geography as more relevant when they see how it connects to other subjects they are studying. To that end, World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe makes numerous interdisciplinary connections through cooperative projects as well as other activities and features that show how geography and culture relate to literature, art, science, math, and other subjects. McDougal Littell s World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe places special emphasis on critical thinking, content-area reading, and map skills to provide continual social studies skill development through a wide range of interactive opportunities. For students, interest is generated and skills reinforced through the use of technology resources and the Internet, such as the McDougal Littell website, ClassZone.com. Teachers are supported by a wealth of ancillary materials. A complete listing of all program components is provided on the following page.

McDougal Littell World Cultures and Geography: Western Hemisphere and Europe correlated to the West Virginia Specific Criteria for Content and Skills Grade Seven: World Geography The seventh grade is a study of geography through the six essential elements: The World in Spatial Terms; Places and Regions; Physical Systems; Human Systems; Environment and Society; and Uses of Geography. Students will examine people and places, and analyze the relationships between them. These relationships include cultures, history, environmental concerns and political and economic systems. Students will use maps, graphs, charts and other technologies in achieving an understanding of a geographical perspective. Students will formulate concepts directly related to those ideals that foster citizenship. West Virginia teachers are responsible for analyzing the benefits of technology for learning and for integrating technology appropriately in the students learning environment. See the related grade-level Technology Standards and Objectives. All materials at this grade level (1) be research based and theory driven; (2) incorporate basic, accurate information that is developmentally appropriate; (3) use interactive activities that actively engage students; (4) provide students with opportunities to model and practice relevant skills; (5) develop higher order thinking opportunities; and (6) be based on national standards. The instructional materials should provide students with opportunities to: A.
