Description
This chapter appears in the book, Teaching Human Geography: Theories and Practice in Thinking Geographically. Edited by Erin Hogan Fouberg and Janet Stuhrenberg Smith.
Chapter abstract: This chapter contains eight exercises that each incorporates elements of geographic thinking, the development of threshold concepts and a connection to the personalization of learning. This set of exercises involve student engagement in a class setting in which students work collaboratively with other students in groups exploring topics including gender equality, sustainable development goals, global climate change, and commodity chains. Additionally, students examine different perspectives through a guided discussion/debate and by imagining their lives as either Antiguans or visiting tourists. Many of these exercises involve thinking and reasoning with images, maps, and data.
